Didn't touch me at all; too obviously a political film

I couldn't relate to the characters. I'm usually those people who move into tears, but this movie just made feel embarrassed; wasn't touched at all.

The "love story" was unrealistic psychologically.

The story was predictable.

It was obviously a political film: they went through many arguments for euthanasia, but the arguments against euthanasia were all strawmen. It was laughable.

It wasn't a political movie to me at all, it was a sappy love story along the lines of Nicholas Sparks. The movie does not in any way set out to change your perception on the legality of euthanasia.

The love story wasn't unrealistic, you just simply failed to grasp it.

And how was it predictable - apart from possibly the ending, you knew what was going to happen before it happened?
