SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

liviailha Despite the fact that the actors are very good and fit greatly into the characters the movie itself isn't very engaging, the characters accept their fate very calmly, without planning any escape or uprising which is very disappointing, we do not recommend anyone to watch Never Let Me Go unless your intention is to fall asleep

cmyles-07888 Never Let Me Go is a 2010 British dystopian literature film based on Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, Never Let Me Go - written in 2005. The film was directed by Mark Romanek. There are three main protagonists, Kathy H (played by Carey Mulligan), Ruth C (played by Keira Knightley), and Tommy D (played Andrew Garfield). The story follows the trio throughout their short, confusing lives - starting at their strict boarding school, Hailsham, to the Cottages, and to their inevitable "completion" after donations. When the time is right - around mid twenties - every student begins donations, where there organs are removed and unwilling given away for the wealthy's use. Donations occur until "completion", where the life of the donator is complete. In the film of Never Let Me Go, I felt that the time spent showing Hailsham was cut short. Readers of the novel can attest to the fact that Hailsham is where an extensive amount of character development takes place. Hailsham is where Cathy, Ruth, and Tommy show signs of being independent people with their own goals and dreams. It is also the place where the bonds between the three protagonists rise and fall over the course of several pages, showing readers the dynamics between each of the characters. Contrastingly, the growth of characters in the film relies on quickly displaying scenes that highlight the major events that impact the dynamic of trio's relationship. While watching the film, I felt that viewers were rushed through and only shown glimpses of Hailsham - which in turn left me unable to connect to the characters of the film the way I did to the characters of the text. An aspect of the film that was unique to the text was the incorporation of daily pills that students must take and the numbered wristband that kept track of the characters in the text. These helped allow for viewers to conceptualize the hold that Hailsham and the bigger overall system had on the students and their behavior. The addition of the elements added to the dystopia effect. Overall, I feel that the film did a pretty good job of bringing the text Never Let Me Go to life, but fell short in a couple of areas. I believe the selection of actors for roles was handled well, and that setting of the film was excellent. I only wish that more time was spent showing Hailsham, but I'm sure time restraints had a role in the equation.If I had to rate this movie from 1 through 10, 1 being absolutely a piece of garbage and 10 being the best film I've ever seen, I would give it an 8.5.

rohanshah-84809 The movie Never Let Me Go is based upon the book written by Kazuo Ishiguro and follows almost everything that happens in the book. The movie does a good job of creating a plot and including scenes that fit with the plot. By this I mean that the movie sticks with a plot and makes it clear what it is and therefore does not confuse the reader. Also the movie does a good job of following a timeline while also going back to the main character's childhood days. The mechanics of the movie are very well done but the movie itself is confusing. If you haven't read the book before the movie, it will be very hard to understand what is happening. There are a lot of instances in the movie that make sense in the book, but are thrown into the movie to make it seem like the director read the book. For example, the movie does not do a good job of explaining the purpose the movie and it is revealed later on. This leaves the reader not knowing what they are watching and what the purpose is. Also, the movie mainly focuses on three characters Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy and the movie follows them throughout the book. However, there are many other characters we see in the movie that we don't know who they are except for their name. The movie could do a better job of talking about or explained everything else that is going on or the other people in the movie instead of basically strictly Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy the entire way. Overall, I liked this movie and the mechanics of it and also how the directors made time jumps and stuff pertaining to that. However, the movie does not do a good job of explaining things in the movie which is why I would give it a 6/10.

sam iam ...and in slow motion. Beautiful, poignant, haunting, without the happy ending. Beauty in horror made all the more horrific by seemingly universal acceptance. It's a terrible movie which I recommend highly.
