Gabor Z @RT25520507 1d Terrible, bad acting, funny conversations. See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis 2d Featuring a very strong cast and an unsettling dystopian premise, it is an absolutely arresting experience. The realistic, almost documentary-like photography highlights the grim reality in which the movie is set, Cuarón doesn't shy away from visceral moments but doesn't exploit them for emotional manipulation either, and the script doesn't pander to the audience. It manages to combine existential despair, raw realism and even a bit of life-affirming awe in a concise, consistent, gripping whole. See more Raffe M @RT87561079 Aug 28 An absolute piece of art. This movie is a cinematic masterpiece. See more Ryan D @ryandizz Aug 7 To see an original story with so much attention to detail and depth was a breath of fresh air See more Mickey B @Mickerdoo Jul 31 Phenomenal idea with an extraordinary execution. The setting and world is so well detailed and decorated. Supreme camera work. See more Marco L @decatur555 Jul 30 Children of Men is a magnificent dystopian thriller set in a terrifyingly believable future Britain where no child has been born for years. Alfonso Cuarón builds the world through streets, propaganda, cages and frightened people rather than endless explanations, making the collapse of society feel immediate and real. Clive Owen is excellent as a tired, disillusioned man who gradually finds a reason to care again, while Clare-Hope Ashitey gives humanity and personality to a character who could easily have become only a symbol. The long action sequences are astonishing, especially the car attack and the final journey through a devastated city, but the technique always serves the story. Brutal, tense, beautifully made and still disturbingly relevant. See more Read all reviews
