Review of Never Let Me Go (2010) by Enrica C — 15 Dec 2011
Sad, cold, bittersweet, "Never Let Me Go" doesn't make sense in all its parts but it's such a complete, deep movie that moves you and makes you think. This is a "what if" kind of story, and I ended up thanking God more than once because no such things exsist nowadays, at least as long as I know. The story is set over a 20 years period of time, and involves three kids who are raised in an English school: their final goal is to donate all their organs before they get old. As I said, this is what I call a cold story, and this plot really freezes my heart...
There are a few points I don't get. For example why didn't they try to run away? Why did they just sit there and willingly accept to donate organs without doing a thing? That's the main thing I don't get. A part from this the soundtrack was just amazing, and the story really involving no matter how tragic and painful the ending is.
Acting was ok, as for dialogues. Still, there's something different in "Never Let Me Go", there's this feeling of renounce and desperation that I had never found in any other movie. Even if this is not a true story it turns out being scary anyways.
Good movie, worth watching.
