truth be told, there was little chance I was not going to be disappointed by this adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's tremendous novel. Books have this unassailable advantage over movies when it comes to describing characters' inner lives, and as such the cinematic versions can feel incomplete. However this one, while no masterpiece, has tremendous acting and densely thought-out visuals which helps connect to the source material. A dour and somber tale, for sure, but still one focused enough on sentiments that it remains true to the universal themes of the book.***
