This was a sad film, set in the very Britain which I grew up in. It focuses on the then emerging technology of human organ transplant. To fulfill the requirements of the system, organs must be grown. The film follows the process.
Their is a special class of person raised in boarding schools, their life expectancy is to be terminated on that third or fourth donation. These children are raised in the belief that that is the right and proper thing to do; that is what they expect, and the consequence is that they do nothing to resolve their situation.
Though the story is bleak, and it's disturbing how the characters accept that role in life, the film is still very interesting to watch. The pastoral scenes of Britain are this wonderful, cinematography is very good, very careful.
I still believe that Kiera Knightley is not the best actress, though Carey Mulligan is pretty damn good.
Not a feel good date movie.
