NEVER LET ME GO
Also released with The Social Network in 2010, Never Let Me Go is set in dystopian England, in a boarding school where kids attend until they come into adulthood, where a bleak reality awaits. Garfield performs alongside Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan in this depressing romantic drama. His character is involved in a love triangle with Mulligan and Knightley, and it’s fascinating to see their passionate performances but it’s his internal duality that garnered the most praise. On the outset he was a sensitive, soft-spoken soul but that facade buried a still scared and emotionally volatile young man. Garfield’s range in this film is astounding and it’s one of his last indies before he went chasing after the blockbusters. Watch the scene below and tell me with a straight face it doesn’t just gut you.
