Released in 1984, the movie still holds up as one of the more socially-prescient, UK-set/UK-feeling dystopias depicted on film. I also like Brazil, V for Vendetta, and Never Let Me Go. #filmsky

unlabelledView post →Name a movie you cannot watch again because it is too devastating! For me it was Pan’s Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro. It has ridiculously high ratings on film sites. But I can never watch it again. It broke my heart. Tied with Ishiguro’s , “Never Let Me Go”. I was a mess after that.
unlabelledView post →Books to Films 📚=🎞️ Never Let Me Go (2005) by Kazuo Ishiguro was released in 2010. Mostly faithful, the film is more blunt as to the dystopian future. A romance is added as part of the tension in the film whereas the book goes for a slow reveal as to the horrors of the clones. 🧬❤️🩹🫂 #booksky #filmsky

unlabelledView post →There is an absolutely fabulous novel about this called Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro (also an awesome film). Yet again, dystopian science fiction is not supposed to be a blueprint for the future.

unlabelledView post →I hate to say it, but I was really disappointed by Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I've heard so many great things about it, so many rave reviews, and it just fell flat for me... His critical success and movie reviews surely will not be affected by my feelings though. #BlackReaders #BookSky
unlabelledView post →I'll say this: if this movie succeeds in being worse than the movie of "Never Let Me Go," it'll do so in a blaze of glory. Waititi is... trying something here. That's not always a good thing in his hands, but I think he's physically incapable of making something as *boringly* bad as the NLMG movie.

unlabelledView post →A book (and movie) that haunted me for a while is Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Never Let Me Go.” So many ethical questions and considerations, and it was a gut punch.

unlabelledView post →Top 25 of 2000-2024, #25: Never Let Me Go Probably the least-seen film on my list. Dystopian, but quiet for that genre. Examines what it means to be human. Well-acted by a cast that has since built up a collection of acting nominations. Sometimes a thing really connects with you; this did with me.
