Never Let Me Go (2010)

Never let me go was an amazing film, my normal genre is usually "Horror" but this film was creative and unique I didn't get the narrative at first but then it clicked they were organ donors giving up their health for other people who really needed it. But then they came out with that they were Clones of some sort, which I personally thought they didn't really need to have that in there it seemed kind of stupid. There is something intriguing and yet exasperating about this strange, muted film, adapted by screenwriter Alex Garland from the Kazuo Ishiguro novel, and directed by Mark Romanek. It's a classy and composed British drama, with hardback cinema production values, based on a premise that has already been extensively explored by genre and science-fiction writers. This premise is disquieting, though Never Let Me Go may be too tasteful to be scary, and yet too contrived and unreal to be tragic. And it has to be said that there is sometimes a "fashion shoot" quality to the styles and visual compositions. Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley play Kathy, Tommy and Ruth, who have grown up together in a boarding school in a kind of alternative-reality England, which, but for occasional touches of modernity, could be the late 1940s or early 50s. The children are being groomed for a special, self-sacrificial destiny in this weirdly Sovietised society, and when they realise what that destiny is, it is to have far-reaching repercussions for their relationship, which becomes a distorted love triangle. a beautiful film, I would recommend it to others (: -shroom
