Ahead of it's time and more relevant than ever

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2019)

It has taken me 13 years to get round to watching Children of Men and I have to say, it's an absolute masterclass in film making - the execution is astonishing (cinematography, sound design/soundtrack, set design, etc) and it's arguably quite scary in the way it paints a somewhat feasible vision of our future.
The acting and characters in this film are very grounded which reels you in and makes me feel invested. The social and political commentary of this film is still very relevant and quite powerful. It's not an easy watch at times, it's quite shocking but it's a very effective piece of film even if you didn't see it when it released.
