Andrewwebb Basically just boring and dull. Describes itself as dystopian but fails to go the whole way. Basically a weak semi romantic and boring film. And sorry but Andrew Garfield and Keira knightley just cannot act.

unity-91633 Okay, first of all, I'd just like to say that I completely agree with a few of the reviews that talk about the pace and development of the film. It was slow, non-descriptive and didn't make you want to sympathize or feel for the characters. BUT if you have read the book, then you would know that it gives you a much much different feeling as to how the story moves along and the way Kathy feels and describes the three parts of the story. They missed out on a lot of detail in the film that was significant in giving the readers a full feeling of the story. It is meant to represent an unethical world where these 'clones' are treated like machines, used for their organs, and although there are people like Madame and Miss Emily that try to fight for their rights, it ends up failing... touching on real world problems! And it DOESNT give you a happy ending, it DOESNT give you the Hollywood ending where they do get a deferral and end up feeling happily after and that's why the book is so powerful (and makes you think) because this concept is a reflection of problems in the real world. Not directly but it does. Think about it.

sam iam ...and in slow motion. Beautiful, poignant, haunting, without the happy ending. Beauty in horror made all the more horrific by seemingly universal acceptance. It's a terrible movie which I recommend highly.

attrayo Hi,I viewed this movie last evening not knowing what to expect. While there were moments when I was tempted to turn it off, I was captivated by the excellent depiction of emotion by the actors/actresses.I am still not certain as to whether or not this school ever existed in England, but plan to do some research on this. I am certainly aware that there were many barbaric practices that took place many years ago, so wouldn't doubt that this is a true story or at least based upon a true story.I do have to admit that while I found this film captivating, I also found it disturbing and extremely sad.Regards, ~Attrayo
