![]() With how formulaic the plot could feel at times, Hutchings fast-paced direction moved the plot forward in a way that didn’t necessarily feel rushed. The other element that I’ll comment on that really stood out for me was how fast-paced and natural Then Came You felt. This is a considerable feat considering the cliched storyline and dialogue both Williams and Butterfield have to contend with. However, Williams blends Skye’s anger at the situation, sadness at losing her friends, and happiness at being able to tackle her bucket list with a seemliness that comes across authentic rather than hokey. Throughout the course of the film, we see Skye grapple with the emotional rollercoaster that comes with facing one’s own mortality. Williams plays Skye, a teenage girl who discovers within the first couple minutes of the film that she is dying and it’s just a matter of time. Her performance contains complicated layers that she acts out effortlessly, which could have been difficult considering the subject matter. And I say that while acknowledging that Asa Butterfield did an immensely good job as well. The film serves as another reminder to us all that we should live the life we want to have because we never know when it might be taken away.įor those who are fans of Maisie Williams, most known for her work on HBO‘s Game of Thrones, she is arguably the best part of Then Came You. He learns to conquer the fear he has within himself, which involves heights and asking out his colleague, Izzy (Nina Dobrev). It is while they start tackling this list that Calvin begins to realize what he might be missing, especially when it is revealed in the film what might be the cause behind his deeply-ingrained fear. After much pushing, Calvin initially begrudgingly starts helping Sky fulfill her eclectic bucket list of things to do before she dies. Well, that’s my way of interpreting his personality. ![]() Then Came You tells the story of Skye (Maisie Williams), a playful teenager with a terminal undisclosed illness who befriends Calvin (Asa Butterfield), a 19-year-old hypochondriac who is afraid of life. However, despite the formulaic plot, the film’s pacing and the performances delivered by actors Asa Butterfield ( Sex Education) and Maisie Williams ( Game of Thrones) help to elevate the film into something refreshingly enjoyable despite the ending that we know will come. ![]() Such is the case with Then Came You, a new film from director Peter Hutchings ( The Outsiders). Sometimes there is a romantic element, but other times the plot will focus on the growing friendship. The plot generally focuses on two main characters, with one of them having a terminal disease that will eventually kill one of the characters that we grow to love. However, the film earning the loudest buzz, Velvet Buzzsaw, is only earning good reviews and not great reviews, but that should be good enough for Netflix.The terminal romance plot line is a familiar favorite for those who love the Young Adult genre. There are some that are certainly worth checking out, like Braid and The Wild Pear Tree. It is not a great week for limited releases. Limited and VOD Releases: The Week is Soft like Velvet It is definitely the best bet for fans of Giallo and / or Film Noir. In the end, I went with a late screener, The Forbidden Photos Of A Lady Above Suspicion: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray. ![]() There are a couple of contenders for Pick of the Week, but the The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends: The Complete Series DVD is a re-release at a more reasonable price, while it is worth waiting to get the The Miseducation of Cameron Post: Special Edition Blu-ray. There are some big releases, like Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, but none of them are good.
