Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightley) live in a world and a time that feel familiar to us, but are not quite like anything we know. They spend their childhood at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. When they leave the shelter of the school and the terrible truth of their fate is revealed to them, they must also confront the deep feelings of love, jealousy and betrayal that threaten to pull them apart.I am shocked at how much I enjoyed this movie! I'm sure that thinking I was seeing one of those pride & prejudice type movies. I had no clue that this powerful character drama has a sci-fi premise in a old english like setting. It was like that movie The Island taking place in that movie The Village with awesome performances. Put that all together and I was so unexplainably intrigued from beginning to end. I had every intention of giving this bad boy the 20 minute test and it not passing. Instead, I spent the rest of my day making sure I saw the whole movie.
I would definitely recommend you checking this out if you have the chance. I could see this getting a lot of recognition come award time.
