In a future with no children, one person becomes the centre of a dangerous journey. Children of Men was released in 2006.
The action is astonishing, but the real force is its stubborn belief that hope can still be practical.
What makes Children of Men a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
