It's refreshing to watch a movie with an original idea. Never Let Me Go has that: a class of humans being raised for body parts. This film explores whether these humas are human at all. I suppose the conclusion is that they are. In fact, the only difference b/n them and regular humans seems to be how tranquil they are in accepting their fate. Sure, there's some mild pushback, but not very much.
Slow pacing kept me from embracing this film until the scene where Ruth asks forgiveness for inserting herself b/n Cathy and Tommy. Those lost years of love are magnified due to the donors' short lifespans.
My favorite scene of the movie is when Ruth is on the operating table and the doctors remove an organ from her belly. The beeps of the monitors go silent, but the doctors make no attempt to resuscitate her. They walk out of frame leaving Ruth bloody and alone; she has "completed".
8/10 ***RECOMMENDED***
