You're Not You

You're Not You (2014) is George C. Wolfe's drama, available to watch online on iFILM. Kate was a gifted classical pianist until ALS took her hands, then her voice. She needs a caregiver. In walks Bec, an aimless student with no plan and barely a job to her name.

Hilary Swank plays a woman losing command of her body but not her will; Emmy Rossum is the one who barges into her carefully ordered house and upends it. They are opposites, and at first they grate on each other. Yet Bec is the one who starts reading Kate without words, while Kate pushes Bec to live with more intention. Josh Duhamel and Marcia Gay Harden round out the cast. This is not a story about a miracle cure: the illness never lets up, and the quiet, awkward scenes land hardest. For anyone after an honest drama about friendship and dignity, it stays with you. Stream You're Not You (2014) online on iFILM.
