An unknown jewel
Posted : 14 years, 3 months ago on 17 August 2010 12:28 (A review of Go Now)Back then, I had the opportunity to watch ‘Butterfly Kiss’ in the movie theater when it was released and I was really blown away by the whole thing. With this in mind, I was really eager to watch this 2nd movie directed by Michael Winterbottom so I saw this one also in the movie theater when it was out and, once again, Winterbottom really impressed me. Basically, it is the only film I have ever seen which deals with multiple sclerosis which happens to be a terrible disease. Anyway, the story was quite simple. Robert Carlyle meets a girl and they fall in the love right away. But after a couple of months, he starts to get multiple sclerosis and it gets worse and worse. The point is what should she do : dump him and leave him alone with this terrible disease or stay with him and spend her life with a cripple ? On one hand, they are so in love with each other but, on the other hand, they just met each other a couple weeks ago ! How do you take such a decision ? Anyway, it was some terrific stuff and the directing and acting was pretty amazing. To conclude, I thought it was a really strong drama and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Michael Winterbottom.
