📖 Synopsis
The year is 2027. Humanity has ceased to reproduce, and no child has been born for eighteen years. In a United Kingdom transformed into a police state that persecutes immigrants, Theo Faron, a cynical and depressed bureaucrat, agrees to hide and transport Kee, a young African refugee who is miraculously pregnant. Alfonso Cuarón shot the film using war cinema-style long takes, creating the most politically charged and technically daring science fiction film of the 2000s.
✍️ Our review
9.5/10
★★★★★
Children of Men is science fiction grounded in reality: immigration, police states, and collective nihilism. The long-take battle sequences are technically impossible and emotionally devastating. One of the most important films of the 2000s.
