Faiz D It's a heartbreaking movie, but at the same time one of the most beautiful movies I've watched. Beautifully shot and features terrific lead performances, but the true driving force was Carey Mulligan. She was just fantastic. Quiet, beautiful, observant, and again proves that she is the real thing. Never Let Me Go is a beautiful portrayal of love and life.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Shioka O Very sad story though I somewhat couldn't find emotional attachment to the characters. I think it's because of the dull direction. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Mark H One of the saddest movies you’ll ever see about an alternate reality where people are cloned specifically for their organs. This isn’t a sci-fi movie, however. The dramatic and tragic backstory isn’t delved into much. It’s just explained as fact. This group of young people have no parents in the traditional sense. They are raised in special boarding schools with basic clothing, few toys or privileges, and a doomed existence. They will each begin donating their organs at age 25. Some will survive to donate more, a grim and gruesome fate. Yet, the movie tries to tell a story about their humanity. They aren’t respected or treated like “normal” humans. They don’t have many rights, and there is never even a hint that they consider escape. They are resigned to their fate. Some, like the character Kathy, volunteer to be “carers,” whose job is to provide empathy and support for their suffering peers. Doing so can delay their own donations for a time. Tragically, they can and do fall in love, and they have limited hopes and dreams. They even believe true love will buy them an extra 5 years, if only they can prove their love is genuine. This is a sad film, and it’s mostly a gentle, quiet film. The acting, particularly by newcomers Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield is incredibly moving. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Jurassic P This film kind of sucked. Not kind of, it really sucked. The main thing for me, besides it being a total pornography movie, was that it moved WAY to fast. Like the main characters are children and then now there kissing and then they're adults. Like if I hadn't read the book before hand I would have NO clue on what's happening. And some people may actually like that because they think the movie should align with the book, and if you think that, that's fine! I personally think that the movie should follow the same ideas and themes as the book did but it should be kind of it's own thing, because if it isn't, then it's just a carbon copy of the book and at that point there is no point in watching it.
