Mark Romanek conjures visions of mortality via elegiac images of England's cozy landscape and haunting architecture. He lets the film unfold as a delicate mood piece, sustaining a tone of aching beauty with remarkable control. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- [A]n excellent film adaptation....This is a character-driven drama, and GArland and Romanek faithfully keep it so.

Perhaps such passive solemnity is true to the book, but on screen, along with the sad tinkling piano and the sad violins that just won't quit, the overall effect is so enervating that you simply don't feel a damned thing. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Pretty, empty, and immediately forgettable. Full Review

The lack of dramatic tension means it's difficult to emotionally connect with the central characters and their dilemma.

Never Let Me Go is an unrelentingly bleak film in which you watch these three characters grow up and march towards their doom. Full Review

Product Description:

Director Mark Romanek (ONE HOUR PHOTO) and writer Alex Garland (28 DAYS LATER) team up to adapt REMAINS OF THE DAY author Kazuo Ishiguro's introspective sci-fi novel about a group of unsuspecting boarding-school students who make a horrifying discovery about themselves. Sheltered teens Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Ruth (Keira Knightley), and Tommy (Andrew Garfield) all grew up at a remote English boarding school, and now they're hungry to explore the real world. Their dreams of freedom are soon stifled, however, upon learning that they are nothing more than clones created specifically for organ harvesting. Now, in addition to confronting their own mortality, all three must come to terms with a lifetime of emotions and unfulfilled longings while pondering their true purpose for being.
