Never Let Me Go - 19/02/11

Wow, there are some films that when they have finished you don't actually want to talk to anyone for a while, so that you can think about what you have seen, recent films like Atonement and Precious, and now I can add Never Let Me Go to that list.

I had not read the book, so can't say if it compares but this is a beautiful, but depressing film about people who have been made to be harvested and who seemingly have no other choice. I would have liked to have had more of the context however, why did they not refuse, what kind of society allows this to happen, but that was not touched on, maybe it was in the book.

Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield were fantastic.
