never let me go by kazuo ishiguro (2005)

Never Let Me Go is incisive and fascinating in its description of boarding school and childhood, but is meanwhile set in a sad, disturbing, difficult situation which, altho fantastical, feels extremely true to home - so unless all that sad and disturbing stuff sounds special to you (and it is special, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not necessarily special in an enjoyable way), I have trouble recommending it.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.

the gentlemen (2019)

While this Guy Ritchie movie doesn’t live up to its forebears (in my humble opinion) in terms of snappy dialogue and humor, it was certainly funny at times, and the twists were nice and exciting, and colin farrell’s character was a classic.
