Most often when I find myself sobbing at the end of a movie, it’s a result of being inexplicably moved, but surprisingly so. That being said, what was I expecting from a movie titled “Never Let Me Go”? Silly woman, trix are for kids...
TOP 10 Reasons You Should Not Shove this DVD under the leg of a crooked table but actually watch it...
10: Carey Mulligan is a brilliant, highly underrated actress. She penetrates every role she receives flawlessly, as she does here, and makes it look effortless.
9: It markets itself as a part period piece/part science fiction and does so without everyone turning out to be cyborgs in the end. Yayyy.
8: Andrew Garfield. Daaamn.
7. It’s both visually striking and aesthetically haunting. Hard to elaborate without spoiling it, so let’s just say the film was much like cast member Keira Knightley: pleasing, but eerily opaque and you just want something more to feed to it.
6. Based on Time Magazine’s book of 2005, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, and films based on contemporary literature are boss.
5. Garfield, Andrew.
4. A stack of papers is much more effective for fixing crooked tables.
3. Keira Knightley was finally given the role she was born to play...annoying. Finally she’s the imposition, the 3rd wheel, and not the love interest. Take that skeletor.
2. Weasley spotting! Weasley spotting! “It’s like watching a dog walk on its hind legs” Someone alert the ministry of magic Bill Weasley got lost and wandered into another movie.
1. Not altogether brilliant, but an impressive screenplay. The language definitely refrained from getting too flowery and cliché. Not that you give a damn. Shouldn’t have made this #1....
Also watched The Fighter (flawless) and The Switch (less than flawless). Have a great week!
You've made me want to see it. Netflix?
