Director : Mark Romanek
Running Time : 105 mins
Kathy (Mulligan) is brought up in a boarding home for what appear to be orphan children with her friends Tommy (Garfield) and Ruth (Knightley). Together the three grow into adulthood, discovering along the way that they have been bred for spare parts, and will eventually have their organs donated to other, more worthy, people before they eventually die.
This is such a little gem of a movie. I’d never heard of it before switching on the TV one evening and seeing it there. I was instantly engrossed in the story, and surprised that a science fiction movie could be so down to earth and engaging without employing spectacle as a selling point. More people should see ths movie, or even read the book, as it is a wise and likeable story featuring characters who are forced to accept their place in society in spite of their own feelings and emotions which may end up either killing their spirit or setting it free.
