Fiona H @FionaHayden 6d Children of Men is a haunting and powerful dystopian film that feels disturbingly real. The story pulls you into a broken world with no future, yet still finds small moments of hope and humanity. The long continuous shots are incredible and the tension never really lets up. It stays with you long after it ends. See more Ben H @RT11794309 May 31 Great plot, great shots. One of my favs See more Mick C @MickC May 30 If nothing else, this has to be watched for the startling realism of the urban battle scene and what happens as it develops. Extraordinary, never seen anything like it.

I wanted to stop it after the first 15 min but was just telling myself maybe it gets interesting - It does not. Just spare yourself and watch something else, especially if you are a movie connoisseur you'll regret watching this. Every movie I watched so far with Clive Owen was extremely boring and bleak and doesn't get me invested whatsoever. I am shocked this has many good reviews!

At first, I wasn't narratively convinced: a man in the apocalypse, conversations with his friend, the fatalistic world... but I was impressed by the number of themes it touches on. Hope in youth, faith, the symbolism of religious beliefs, and especially, migration. When this theme is introduced, the film truly shines. Kee's story is much more symbolic than simply being a pregnant immigrant woman after a long time. How can one forget what children are like? I reflected a lot on the importance of these beings who sometimes make me uncomfortable. This film doesn't bother to give you many explanations; however, you'll have to resist the urge to know why. Here, what matters is what society does about it. The way immigration is portrayed is visceral. The set design and camera work are ingenious and captivating. See more Read all reviews
