The first time I watched it, it was very late at night, yet I could not stop. I was drawn into the characters. As the film proceeded, it was so... onally compelling and I pondered as to the premise of the film. I felt sad that their purpose on this earth was to donate their vital organs and complete, I wondered why they Cathy and Tommy didn't just run away from this torment and begin their own lives, once they realized their life was a lie. The acting was superb, and music very sad as it intertwined with the story. I think this film is worth watching.Just to experience a really unusual film. Full Review

I felt the movie was very moving, a little slow for people who like alot of action though. Carey Mulligan was excellent, rent it, you won't regret... ... Full Review

I had to watch it twice - to fully realize the stunning meaning of this film. The characters are compelling and they etched themselve into my heart.... Never Le Me Go is a haunting and memorable film that I will never forget. Full Review

This movie isn't good at all. yea i like the actors but it was kinda boring. i was falling asleep and the end was kinda bizarre. Why not make it even... more depressing and have the girl die at the end too. WOW Full Review

I won't go so far as to say this move was inspired by (definitely not a remake of) "The Island", but a similar... ones for parts" theme. Really kind of lame. Rent it, don't buy it. Full Review

The melancholy attached to the impermanence of life and love suffuses this film, making it memorably haunting and hypnotic.Full Review

Best approached with little to no advance information or expectations, which is the same way the film's characters experience their lives.Full Review

Never Let Me Go is that rare find, a fragile little four-leaf clover of a movie that's emotionally devastating, yet all too easily trampled by cynics.Full Review
