Watch Never Let Me Go For Free

Best movie ever!

Absolutely the worst movie.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is boring, Although I enjoyed the first half of it when the characters where young. The story development was so slow in the second half that I had to force myself to continue watching it till the end.

I came watching this movie expecting a sad love story but it was so much more than that and left me sobbing for hours afterwards. I want to write so much about this movie and how brilliant it all was and I almost feel like I am not articulate enough to express what this movie made me feel. there was just something extremely special about this movie and it touched my soul in a different way.overall the movie was a cinematic masterpiece. Every single element was perfect, the actors were all amazing and it was so natural I can almost forget that they are acting. I was greatly impressed by that because I don't find this in many movies. the aesthetics/colour schemes were perfect. and the music oh my god! the soundtrack of this movie will always bring me to tears its just so perfect. I love the final message about not having enough time. Kathy is just wonderful her facial expressions the way she holds her emotions, she does not express her feelings very openly but her facial expressions you can see her soul. also, I think a true masterpiece is one where you understand the "villain" and feel bad for them because the characters are real and people are not all black and white I read a quote before that says "hurt people hurt people" and I feel like that summaries Ruth's character. I spent the whole movie hating her but that scene at the boat where she is talking and the camera just shows her face there is so much vulnerability and I saw a broken, scared little girl and it broke my heart because I understood her. the scene when tommy screams at the sky will forever haunt me and I can go about it for hours the performance and the emotions then the way he grabs onto her oh god! I found out that it was based on a book and now I will be reading it

Hi,I viewed this movie last evening not knowing what to expect. While there were moments when I was tempted to turn it off, I was captivated by the excellent depiction of emotion by the actors/actresses.I am still not certain as to whether or not this school ever existed in England, but plan to do some research on this. I am certainly aware that there were many barbaric practices that took place many years ago, so wouldn't doubt that this is a true story or at least based upon a true story.I do have to admit that while I found this film captivating, I also found it disturbing and extremely sad.Regards, ~Attrayo

This film has a really expensive cast, which does the original story justice, which was written by the Literature Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro. Although Ishiguro moved to England in an early age, his story is heavily Japanese-flavored. Humanity, isolation, despair, love, those are very common themes in Japanese literature. Therefore I feel like a large portion of plot would be better suited for Japanese actors and actresses. It might not be that comprehensible in this side of the cultural gap. Even jarringly inconsistent. For example, the Japanese obsession with vagueness is unique to Japanese culture, and not translatable by language. It is very understandable for Japanese characters to not say something important, even those that must be spoken, in fear of spoiling the present that they so enjoy. Tommy wouldn't tell Ruth that he liked Kathy more because he was unsure of Kathy's feelings. He would be afraid that he would cause Kathy troubles if he rejected Ruth, since romantic rejection for her sake would clearly ruin Kathy and Ruth's friendship. But since Kathy already saw Ruth and Tommy kissing, she wouldn't tell Tommy she liked him in fear of hurting Ruth. Ruth, of course, cared deeply about both her friends, therefore the fragile balance could sustain. But none of those misunderstandings and subtle, beautiful web of love and friendship would be possible in the brutally transparent language that was used in the film. I think the difference might be that it is impossible to tell what an Asian person is feeling by looking at him/her/them, but it is for Westerners, therefore it would all be quicker and easier. Carey Mulligan, being a fan of the book, did a very precise and relatable interpretation of the book. Her performance would satisfy the fan. But Andrew Garfield made Tommy look like a total loser. He said in one of the interviews that Tommy was anxious, so he was trying to spice anxiety into his performance. It doesn't take an expert to tell that he was wrong. Tommy wasn't anxious at all. In fact, he was meticulous, caring, sensitive, endearing. He was powerless yet heartbreakingly firm about defending his love and friends and humanity. He wasn't supposed to make any audience resent or despise Tommy. If he had actually read the book, the movie would be entirely different. But I love his scream at the end. It was very heart-felt and soul-crunching. I was very inspired and shaken by that scream. At least he got that right.Keira Knightly went amiss too. Her Ruth was mean, manipulative, domineering. But a Japanese Ruth would be more considerate, more gentle, more smooth. She would not so openly, easily declare her affections, but would wait until it bursted her and tortured her more than she could bear that she spitted it out. She was supposed to feel like a friend worth having, but did the worst thing for caring. Keira Knightly said in an interview that she didn't understand Ruth's motives. Audience can sense that by watching, and those misunderstandings kind of tore the story apart.I am grateful that someone bothers to make the novel into a movie at all. To convey the cultural and emotional contexts of the novel, they were obviously trying very hard, but to a mediocre success. I can't say Japanese actors would do it any better, since some of them regard acting with a bizarre kind of sportsmanship instead of craftsmanship, pushing themselves into emotional and physical limits instead of thinking with clear heads what the characters were really supposed to do. So I guess it is as good as it can get.
