The Giver captivates with its dystopian premise where emotions and history are suppressed, leaving only 'The Giver' to bear the past's memories. Viewers are divided: some praise its faithful adaptation from the book and thought-provoking narrative, while others find the film emotionally flat and lacking depth. The visual style and the performance of the cast, particularly Brenton Thwaites, are frequently highlighted as positives. However, some feel the movie doesn't fully deliver, leaving them wanting more.

👍 Faithful adaptation and thought-provoking.

👎 May feel emotionally flat to some.
