Reviews


100
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
Made with palpable energy, intensity and excitement, it compellingly creates a world gone mad that is uncomfortably close to the one we live in. It is a "Blade Runner" for the 21st century, a worthy successor to that epic of dystopian decay
100
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
It's a heartbreaking, bullet-strewn valentine to what keeps us human.
90
Village Voice - J. Hoberman
It's a measure of Cuarón's directorial chops that Children of Men functions equally well as fantasy and thriller. Like Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" and the Wachowski Brothers' "V for Vendetta" (and more consistently than either), the movie attempts to fuse contemporary life with pulp mythology.
90
L.A. Weekly - Scott Foundas
One of the year's most imaginative and uniquely exciting pieces of cinema.
80
Variety - Derek Elley
Picture more than delivers on the action front -- not in bang-for-your-buck spectacle but in the kind of gritty, doculike sequences that haul viewers out of their seats and alongside the main protags.
