Review of Never Let Me Go (2010) by Deereads — 12 Feb 2011
I was mesmerized by the book. When I heard there was a film, I wondered how they would make a movie of this quite, emotionally laden, non-high speed action book. I just finished the movie and was dismayed that I bought the DVD.
The film seemed like a made-for-TV video. I personally added emotion to the viewing because I had such an attachment to the book characters. Had I not had that attachment to them prior to watching the film, I would have shut it off and done the laundry or the dishes.
I absolutely did not care for the movie. Having said that, I really didn't know how anyone could take all that thought and emotion from the book and translate it to a medium that calls for some action in the conflict.
Great Book. Terrible Film. Keira Knightly = ick.
