Låg budget, bra story sci fi. Hamnade etta på någon rolling stones lista över bästa sci fi från 2000 talet.

Dystopian urgency and unforgettable long takes. Cuarón’s direction makes every moment edge-of-your-seat.

Although dystopian, its moments of stillness and contemplation in the midst of chaos make it an unexpectedly reflective watch, perfect for pondering hope.

A gripping and thought-provoking dystopian tale that pushes the boundaries of science fiction.

Deep Focus Review

Children of Men’s opening scene skillfully establishes its high-concept world and how director Alfonso Cuarón will portray it. The year is 2027, and human beings have lost the ability to produce offspring.

BBC - Movies

Alfonso Cuarón paints an arrestingly grim portrait of Britain thrown into anarchy in 2027, with Clive Owen playing a world-weary protector amidst chaos.

Common Sense Media

Realistic graphic violence includes a car chase and intense battle scenes filled with gunfire and shelling explosions, bloody amputated bodies, execution-style killings with guns, dead bodies, rows of body bags.

The Cinema Critic

Children of Men is truly spectacular. As acclaimed as the movie is, I still feel like it isn’t as appreciated as much as it should be, it needs to be talked about a lot more.

Christian Spotlight on the Movies

What could have been a great film was instead a waste of time, money, and talent.

Rotten Tomatoes

Children of Men is an achingly, almost dreamily optimistic film in the face of such brutally cynical conditions, offering a humanist message that neutralizes political debate.
