I have no idea why it's listed so much more often as dystopian than romance. Maybe some difference with the book compared to the film. Maybe something to do with the difference in rigidity of classification - if a book has even a hint of sci-fi, it's usually called sci-fi, whereas a book can have romance in it without being called a romance book.

I'd consider Never Let Me Go a drama story with elements of romance, dystopian, mystery/thriller and even a sort of bildungsroman. There's actually a problem with labelling this story, but I can't get into my opinion on that without being too spoilery.
