This is an extremely faithful and moving adaptation of Ishiguro's fantastic novel. There are parts that play slowly that are more involving as written words, but, generally, the film excellently captures the melancholy meditation on life and death that is the film's central theme. Wonderfully acted and filmed.

"Never Let Me Go" shows the life of unworldly people. The drama of how their life were directed even before knowing the reality of it- and the resistance of getting off in it. Since the story was narrated and from the point of view of an unworldly character, the thought of the film goes through critical region. BUT I must say that the drama in it was sustained. What I actually like in this movie, is that it made me believed that it is a film based on a novel based on a true story. It moved me. AND the cast performed well.

You'll be moved....to tears of boredom. A wonderfully acted, perfectly cast, and beautifully shot movie that is really boring as all get out. It doesn't even get interesting when you find out the ~big reveal, which was ripe for interesting discussions or even heart-racing action. Instead, you get a quiet British film where they hardly even raise their voices. You'll be moved if you can bring yourself to care that much.
