Never Let Me Go is an adaptation of the novel of the same title written by Kazuo Ishiguro, I had hoped to read if before the movie was released but it came quicker than I expected and felt the need to see it immediately. The story begins with three friends Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightley) at their childhood "boarding school" Helshaim on the English countryside where everything seems perfect and picturesque and follows them through young adulthood after their cruel fate has been shared with them and the boundaries of love and friendship are tested and in some cases crossed.
I thought that the casting choices were done well in this film, we get to see slightly different sides of Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield (a drastic shift from his portrayal of Eduardo Saverin in the Social Network) and would not be surprised if Mulligan was nominated for another Academy Award this year for her role. The cinematography was also very well done, the colors and landscapes lead you to think that the story takes place in 1960-70s England possibly, yet at the same time we see the characters passing electronic wristbands over beeping devices that would only seem to exist in present time or the future even which ads to the mystery. I really liked Never Let Me Go, a heartfelt story with a dark undertone that gives the film just enough of a twist without killing the story and still has enough room to leave you seriously contemplating if youre doing all that you can with the time you have here.
