Never Let Me Go is a chilly adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel tracing the lives of three English children from their young days in the 1970s to their adulthood in the 1990s. A science-fiction story with virtually no science-fiction elements, it's instead a subdued drama about people trying to figure out the purpose of their lives and come to terms with their limited time – which, of course, means it's about everyone. Carey Mulligan is terrific as Kathy H., our de facto guide to this world; Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley are the friends she spends her life losing. Romanek's austere direction never looks away from the tragic truths at the story's core.

The ByTowne doesn't have a parking lot of its own, but denizens of downtown can usually find street parking close by fairly easily.
This web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Plus, its calendar pages can be pulled out and posted on your fridge door, something that we still can't achieve with the web site.
