SYNOPSIS

See the film generating award worthy buzz for three of today’s most influential and talented young stars in Never Let Me Go, from Fox Searchlight Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  Adapted from highly acclaimed author Kazuo Ishiguro’s award-winning novel and directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo), Never Let Me Go is a beautifully moving film featuring dynamic performances by Academy Award-nominees Carey Mulligan (Wall Street 2, An Education), Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) and newcomer Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, The Other Bolelyn Girl).

MY THOUGHTS

I had not heard of Never Let Me Go until I had the opportunity to review it.  At first, I thought it was a little slow, but as the film progressed, I became more intrigued with it.  When I was finished watching the film, I was in awe.  The cast truly did a great job and the plot of the film was a good one.  Mulligan, Garfield, and Knightley did a fantastic job acting!  A big thanks goes to Fox Searchlight Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for this DVD review opportunity!
