The picture is a conceptual muddle. Fortunately, Cuarón is such a talented filmmaker that the movie is interesting on other levels. ...read the complete Children of Men movie review at MTV (Kurt Loder)

Children of Men, directed by Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Y tu mamá también, 2001, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azbakan, 2004), takes place in the year 2027.

If this is what London will look like in November 2027, there's one good thing to be said. The city will no longer be one of the two most expensive (along with Tokyo) for tourists. For an atmosphere of sheer dystopia, nothing this year beats ...read the complete Children of Men movie review at Harvey S. Karten

The story, despite its nominally fascinating nature, never barrels forth the way it needs to. It plods. How a director as versatile and inventive as Cuarón managed that is a mystery greater than any found in the film. ...read the complete Children of Men movie review at South Florida Sun-Sentinel (Phoebe Flowers)

Clive Owen is at his disaffected best in the "arrestingly grim" sci-fi thriller Children Of Men. Mexican helmer Alfonso Cuarón won acclaim for creating a truly nightmarish vision of Britain in the not-too-distant future, even if there was a little too ...read the complete Children of Men movie review at BBC Films

This film has been very well received and, as with several other films this year that have been popular with the critics, I am just not sure what the fuss is about. CHIKDREN OF MEN seems to possess an intriguing idea from the trailer, but what you see ...read the complete Children of Men movie review at

First of all, and you probably didn't miss it, but Kee is key. Man, is that clever. She's not only the key to humanity's survival, the humanity displayed toward her is key too. This is an ugly world. Obviously however, the viciousness toward "illegal ...read the complete Children of Men movie review at Mr. Cranky Rates the Movies

Yes, kids, Children of Men is one of those bleakly futuristic "In a World" movies, a genre that's constantly reproducing itself in the semi-infantile world of adult movies. ...read the complete Children of Men movie review at Boulder Weekly (Thomas Delapa)

Confusion reigns supreme in this slow, preachy and pretentious picture by Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón (Y TU MAMà TAMBIÃN) about a fascist world of the future in which all immigration is illegal, terrorists are heroes and all women are infertile. ...read the complete Children of Men movie review at Steve Rhodes

28 DAYS LATER had characters worth caring about and a compelling story, while the energyless CHILDREN OF MEN is a mess of a movie that drifts and drags.

Children of Men is about a world thrown into turmoil when men all over the world become infertile and the human race risks extinction. My favorite aspect of this movie was the fantastic scenery. They did a great job simulating real war zones, ...
