Part 3 in a series on Alex Garland's screenplays: Willie, Audie, & Jessica discuss their thoughts on the movie Never Let Me Go (2010). This review includes discussions on more moral dilemmas that this film offers, the successes and failures of this attempt at adapting Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, and, to steal one from Homer: the endurance of the heart that the Fates have given to us mortals.
Part 4 in a series on Alex Garland's screenplays: Willie & Jessica discuss their thoughts on the movie Dredd (2012) based on the 2000 AD comics.
