Review of Never Let Me Go (2010) by Genie K — 01 Jun 2012

I hesitate to say much about the plot here, because it's only revealed a little bit at a time, and it was a good 40 minutes in before I *really* realized the extent of what was going on, and I'd hate to alter that experience for anyone.

So I will just say this is an incredible little story about humanity and love and life. The casting choices were interesting, as well... the three main characters were played by two actors who I find incredibly engaging in everything they do and one who I nearly always despise.

But Keira Knightley's smug demeanor works *for* her in this movie, and the three of them work together to form an incredibly interesting group of characters. I'm not even sure where to go with this review right now, because while I have all these emotional reactions to the movie, they're hard to articulate.

I'm afraid this is going to be one of my less coherent movie blogs. I will have to try and revisit this again sometime.
