I was apprehensive at first about the thought of one of my favourite books Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro being made into a film. It is such a beautiful, moving and provocative book that captured me from page 1 and worried about how they would translate the heartbreaking but beautiful story so subtly captured on page on the big screen...
But wow, I take back all my reservations as is it was a brilliantly made adaptation. Whilst I still prefer the book (of course) the film comes very close to being just as good! Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and in particular (in my opinion) Andrew Garfield give stunningly moving performances that suit the books characters perfectly, still subtle but so touching. So well done Mark Romanek (director) and co. it is the perfect screenplay of such a wonderful book!
I don't want to give anything away about the storyline as it is book full of hidden meanings to discover and something that should definitely be read first and than given away, so I urge you to go read it first and then watch the film... it'll have you (like me) in tears.
Just thank me later!
