Plot

In 2027, humanity can no longer have children, and Britain is a police state. Theo, a former activist, is asked to help a young woman, Kee, who is pregnant, and to get her to a group that may save humanity. The film follows their journey through a ruined country. Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film, with Clive Owen, is known for its long takes, including a famed car ambush, and its bleak realism.

Sinekatalog’s take

Alfonso Cuarón's dystopia imagines a world where no child has been born for eighteen years. The long takes, especially the car ambush and battle sequence, make it feel terrifyingly immediate.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
