Movie 32: Never Let Me Go
32 NEVER LET ME GO (UK, 2010)
Dir: Mark Romanek
Cast: Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, Andrew Garfield...
A love triangle set in a school whose students have a fate that set them apart from other children.
I've never read the book, but already knew quite a bit about the subject matter, which did not in any way undermine the emotional impact of the film. Never Let Me Go is certainly one of these stories that leave a bitter taste in your mouth.
I love Carey Mulligan, and her acting particularly shines in this film. The young actress who plays Muligan's character as a child is also very talented, and the physical resemblance between the two actresses is incredible.
My only criticism is that Andrew Garfield's character lacks depth; his motives were occasionally unclear.
4/5
