Review of Never Let Me Go (2010) by Kismetkat — 25 Sep 2010
First, I must explain that I read the book prior to seeing the movie. I thought it was well acted and caught the mood and tone of the book precisely. Also, it was cast well and I felt Andrew Garfield's performance as Tommy was fabulous.
The reason for a bit lower score is due to (2) reasons: changes in significant events in the book -- don't worry, I won't tell. And, the oversimplification of the dialogue and lack of nuances that are in the book.
I realize in order to adapt any book to a movie, much must be cut. But a couple of significant things could have been included and not added too much to the running time. Regardless, I think it's a compelling movie that will leave you with questions for days.
And, I recommend you read the book first.
