Mark Romanek is one of the most unlikely to direct a movie like Never Let Me Go (2010). With a reputation as a director of music videos (including "Scream" by Michael and Janet Jackson, the most expensive history) Romanek has worked with artists like Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Madonna, Johnny Cash, Jay-Z, Coldplay, REM and David Bowie. However, Never Let Me Go is a story far removed from the profile or prejudice that might have on the director, and she ends up passing bill to some extent.
The movie is based on a novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, and apparently was well-received novel and even revered, but personally I learned of its existence thanks to this film. The plot mixes elements of science fiction, but not as we know traditionally, but just a nuance, however, is key in the development and end of the story.
During the first half, and through a simple address, Romanek delivers a tender story of childhood love and growth in very special circumstances, where the three protagonists live in a microcosm literally extraordinary. However, separating life and in the second half we see the story of their reunion, which will present evidence fairly difficult for them, great trials of redemption, forgiveness and resignation.
Despite the depth and romanticism of the film, it lacks real pace and climax, it is quite predictable, although it leads to a heartbreaking end.
Before seeing this film, I had read more than once The actors Keira Knightley, Andrew Garfield (better known until now as the co-creator of Facebook in the magnificent The Social Network (2010), in addition to being the new Spider-Man) and BAFTA winner, Carey Mulligan; however, for me it is the latter who shines again with the face of vulnerability and innocence, but with lots of character, blurring the picture to his co-star, and carrying the most emotional scenes of the film.
Never Let Me Go is a film with so many successes and failures, which turns out to be irregular. However, it is worth it for the hits, for a script with a very original and interesting premise, by the Cinematograph debut a very talented director, and to follow the career of two great actors who could make time, as are Garfield and Mulligan.
