Reviews & comments
Flicks, Adam Fresco
flicksTear-jerkers don’t come much tear-jerkier than this. Take Hilary Swank (who had audiences clawing for the Kleenex in Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby), give her ALS (an incurable motor neuron disease, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease), and let the crying commence. Okay, cynical critical sneer aside, this is a pretty powerful movie, dealing with a crippling disease and its repercussions.
Variety
pressYou're Not You throws down its initial gauntlet with an off-putting lack of subtlety.
The New York Times
pressDespite holes in the storytelling, Ms. Swank and Ms. Rossum keep it real.
New York Daily News
pressThe sort of movie that's not good enough to embrace, but not quite bad enough to dismiss.
Hollywood Reporter
pressIts superb performances and emotional complexity ultimately elevate its familiar themes.
