Riveting apocalyptic tale of hope in a despairing future

Absolutely remarkable in story, acting, and cinematography. Stunning.

Obsessively detailed and naturalistically shot, Cuarón's film is a grimy delight.

Most post-apocalyptic films are disastrous, this isn't one of them. A must see.

Solid futuristic dystopian film. Up the bum, no babies.

A touch overdramatic. Unsatisfying ending. Clive Owen does well in this unique setting.

Peter Zockoll over 5 years ago

Amazing, intellectual, extremely personal. Too heavy to watch often.

Children of Men is a 2006 science fiction film loosely adapted from P. D. James's 1992 novel The Children of Men, directed by Alfonso Cuarón. In 2027, two decades of human infertility have left society on the brink of collapse. Illegal immigrants seek sanctuary in England, where the last functioning government imposes oppressive immigration laws on refugees. Clive Owen plays civil servant Theo Faron, who must help a pregnant West African refugee (Claire-Hope Ashitey) escape the chaos. Children of Men also stars Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, Pam Ferris, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film was released on September 22, 2006 in the UK and on December 25 in the US, with critics noting the relationship between the Christmas opening and the film's themes of hope, redemption and faith. Children of Men received positive reviews and was recognised for its achievements in screenwriting, cinematography, art direction and innovative single-shot action sequences. The film was nominated for Best...
