I thought that the plusses of this production far outweighed the minuses.
The movie is based on the book of the same name by Kazuo Ishiguro. There are quite a few things that don't make a lot of sense, but they don't detract from the beauty of the movie. The author was using the setting to put forward his ideas and provoke a reaction. It's all about people and their interactions with one another, plus the more blatantly obvious.
The acting of the three leads is superlative, in my opinion. They all have substance and are not just pretty faces. The rest of the cast is just as good. The scenery is beautiful and being set in Southern England many people will recognise various locations, head down to Bexhill-on-Sea, if you ever in the area (next to Hastings on the South coast).
Ishiguro also wrote Remains of the Day, which was also turned into a movie. If you liked Remains of the Day you will also enjoy this movie.
