So what happened? In "Me Before You," Clarke's Lou zooms straight past adorable into the land of needy and pushy and enough, already. She's more than actress enough to handle a role requiring both comic and dramatic chops. The prospect of playing someone like Lou, who doesn't deal with dragons or rape or nudity, must've been mighty appealing to Clarke. On "Game of Thrones," in case you hadn't heard, she has become a phenom as Daenerys Targaryen, Khaleesi of the Dothraki, Mother of Dragons, the hostess with the mostest on the ball. Clarke is seriously delightful on talk shows, sharp and funny. More critically to the movie's overall resistibility: There's a thin, crucial line in stories such as these, and with protagonists such as Lou, between life-affirming positivity and sociopathic exuberance.
