Viewing Notes

Thursday and I’m out in Warrenville working at a Starbucks for the afternoon. Followed that with a good dinner & beer over at Rock Bottom then a 5-something screening of Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go (2010), which was a secret screening at Fantastic Fest. Really like the style of this film and the retro science fiction. Would have preferred if the movie remained almost entirely during the children’s timeline. Didn’t care much for their older selves or the relationship drama. Didn’t like Kiera Knightley’s character nor did I buy that character’s motivations. Despite my problems with the film it’s still worth checking out.
