Next Friday, Never Let Me Go opens locally. The adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s highly regarded novel follows a trio of friends (Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield) who attend an English boarding school. When the students venture beyond the school’s boarders, they learn that their future might not turn out how they’d dreamed.
