November 16, 2009I read the book a long time ago, long enough that I don't know how much it compared to the movie. I love me some Clive Owen and Michael Caine.

September 30, 2009Fantastic film! A horrible version of the future, filmed beautifully, with brilliant acting and great direction. The cinematography is second to none with CGI used properly and in moderation. The Hitchcockian one-take shot towards the end of the film is the best bit of film makin...( read more)

June 28, 2009Pourquoi tout les films bien acclamés par la critique ne me suffisent pas? Celui-ci en est un excellent exemple. Après quelque temps, on fini par comprendre qu'il n'y a plus de naissance. Pourquoi? on en sait rien! On na beaucoup de difficulté à comprendre la situation économique...( read more)

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Cuarón does lowdown takes on high concept better than anyone; no matter what genre he touches, he brings grit and loose-limbed humor along with the hand-held camera jangles. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
Even if you don't buy the main conceit, the scumbled texture of the movie makes it feel not just plausible but recognizable, and Cuarón takes care never to paint the future as consolingly different. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
A second viewing, which Children of Men richly rewards, deepens our understanding. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Even in a picture where the smallest gears all work perfectly and harmoniously, Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography is a unifying and galvanizing force. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim
Alfonso Cuaron, a master craftsman, creates a unique and totally original vision of this not-too-distant future. It's harrowing. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
An exhilarating sci-fi action thriller with a powerful social and political message. full review
