A criminally underrated masterpiece - One of the best movies ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2019)

Children of Men is one of those movies that stand out in every sense, is one of those few movies with the special quality of leaving us a great mark after watching them. They move our feelings, alter our ideas and show us terrifyingly close or future probabilities, feasible realities that constantly haunt us, this work is responsible not only to present us with a constant and top quality, but is also a work that will make us feel every beat of the heart.
It's criminal to know that this movie didn't have the critical or box-office acceptance when it was released, I honestly can't understand why, but thanks to the power of the internet, in recent years it has been slowly but surely recovering its location as a master cult movie.
Each scene of the film is an artistic work, each moment is a fantastic inspection of cinematic art. The cinematography is totally beautiful, full of incredible moments, tense and realistic, that make us feel the pressure in our throat. I have to highlight the end of the film, which is probably one of the most fantastic, surreal and impressive camera works in the history of cinema.
The performances are of the highest quality, full of emotion and realism, during the development of the film we are shown a great contrast between the different people who appear in this world, the spectrum between the fortunate and the unfortunate, different secondary characters who speak different languages and belong to a variety of cultures, this only helps pleasantly to give a realistic life to this film.
The script, the story, the structure and the narrative shown in the film are incredible, without seconds wasted and without unnecessary exposure, each part of each scene is designed to convey an idea or a feeling and succeeds completely, a film as realistic as it is magical, that shows a terrifying chemistry between humans, with explosive reactions as well as wonderful reactions.
It is undoubtedly a masterpiece, I consider it one of the best movies in the history of cinema and one of my favorite movies of life. Extremely moving, tense, realistic, fantastic, brutal, reflective, entertaining and unique. An emotional journey presented through images of extreme quality and sublime narration. I really hope that this film will have the respect it deserves, because it is not a simple action movie, it is a work of art designed from head to toe with every detail made to perfection to present a fantastic, realistic and exciting story. A sublime, masterful film. A work that we should all see at least once in our lives.
