Brilliant, though-provoking film ...

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2006)

I went to see this with my A2 class today, as it has some similarities with 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood, so our teacher took us to see it and I was blown away.
This year so far I haven't seen a film that's as good as this - realistic, very good acting, cinematography, directing etc.
Basically, women are infertile in this near-future, and Clive Owen's character helps the only pregnant woman to safety.
It is quite a bleak, serious film, but that's the point! Everything is shot in a way that makes it seem so real, it's actually freaky. Gritty, violent and though-provoking, with a solid story and characters we care about. It touches on a lot of political issues going on at the moment.
Alfonso Cuaron is such a good director, and I take back all the bad stuff I said about Prisoner of Azkaban, cause this film more than makes up for it. I gained so much from this, and learnt a lot. Easily the best film of the year so far.
