Never Let Me Go
Three young and sheltered kids bond together at a "special" school where good health is emphasized and strict rules are enforced. Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield, and Keira Knightley play their adult versions in this bleak story about love, jealousy, regret, frustration, and hope. This retro "Brave New World" of socialized medicine is slow moving, depressing, and not for everyone. It is a powerful and intelligent movie that contrasts beauty and ugliness as it explores the worth of human life. Mulligan is excellent and carries the film. It is a thought provoking view from the lab animal perspective. Alien was surprised that he liked this hard to watch film and suspects many may walk out before the end.
Alien gives it 3 "carers and donors" stars out of 4.
