A tender love tale built on moody moral horror

Never Let Me Go
Genre: Drama
Director: Mark Romanek
Stars: Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley
***1/2

Based on an acclaimed novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go at first seems like a romantic period piece. However, audiences are shocked when it’s revealed the trio was actually raised in a mysterious boarding school for organ donors. Never Let Me Go wraps a tale of love around the moody, ominous moral horror. It’s all about atmosphere and Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) manages to capture a stunning looker while Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley deliver the goods … so to speak.
