Never Let Me Go/Tear Jerker


 * The film of Never Let Me Go is, like the book it's based on, one Tear Jerker after another. Particularly tragic moments include Tommy's utter breakdown in the road after he and Kathy find out that "deferrals" are a myth (bravo, Andrew Garfield, bravo) and Kathy watching Tommy be prepped for his final donation.
 * It's not just Kathy and Tommy, it's what they stand for- the hundreds, maybe thousands of other couples who tried to delay the inevitable by just a little bit, only to have their last hope shattered, and the ones like Ruth who died alone.
