NEVER LET ME GO: SCI FI BRONTE

Kathy: We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time.

Kathy, Tommy and Ruth, (Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Kiera Knightly) three young friends in an idyllic boarding school in England where children are raised to be good and healthy; emphasis on the healthy. Like Stepford, instead of being created, these children are being raised to be demolished for parts until they "complete". They function like home schooled children in the real world while they wait patiently to be called upon for their time to be harvested. It all plays out much like a period piece with a sci-fi twist. The rain soaked gray English countryside is almost as sad as the muddied relations between these children as they make their way blindly to adulthood, their lot firmly established. It's a rather dreary piece if also poetic commentary on life and living it no matter the length. Solid performances by all the cast.
