60 of 282 · most liked firstI decided to rewatch Children of Men for the first time in at least a decade. Unsurprisingly, this movie hits very, very different in 2026.
positive · AI labelView post →I am once again reminding everyone that Clive Owen’s character in CHILDREN OF MEN is in his mid-forties in the late 2020s, which means it’s canonically a movie about a Millennial
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching "Children of Men" for the 1st time in almost 20 years and OMG, the opening lines. "Day 1,000 of the Siege of Seattle. The Muslim community demands an end to the Army's occupation of mosques...the deportation of illegal immigrants will continue." The movie takes place in 2027.
positive · AI labelView post →CHILDREN OF MEN is going to place “surprisingly” high on the NYT Best Movies of the Century list (like #7) and it’s going to formally occasion the Strange New Respect that we all know is coming so I just want to say I have been riding for that movie since I was a sophomore in high school
positive · AI labelView post →A “Deportation-Industrial Complex” is right out of the movie, Children of Men. This is not the first time I’ve made that comparison. I highly recommend you watch it and see what a “Deportation-Industrial Complex” that’s authorized to kill looks like. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
positive · AI labelView post →I haven't seen Children of Men since I watched it in the theater 20 years ago. And you know what? Still a sucker punch of a movie with its varying levels of despair but with glimmers determination and tiny spark of hope.
positive · AI labelView post →Children of Men was a great film when I first saw it in the cinema in 2006, but bloody hell, does it hit on a different level now, with everything that’s going on, especially since having my own kids. First-class direction and photography, excellent writing and cast.
positive · AI labelView post →Films I loved to teach #9. Children of Men. Directed and co-written by Alfonso Cuarón. The screenplay, based on P. D. James' 1992 novel. 2006. A masterpiece. Cuarón’s film suggests is that despair and disgust would manifest themselves overwhelmingly in tyranny. m.youtube.com/watch?v=hUbT...
positive · AI labelView post →“Children of Men” (2006) I’ve always loved how he steals the film with just one scene.
neutral · AI labelView post →#JuneMovieChallrnge #FilmSky 🎥 A dystopian movie.. Children of Men (2006)

neutral · AI labelView post →CHILDREN OF MEN is a movie about how stressful it is when your ex contacts you
neutral · AI labelView post →replace one letter in a movie title but then change it back out of respect for the filmmakers Children of Men
neutral · AI labelView post →Children of Men is a heartwarming feelgood film about how much better off British children would be if they stopped existing
neutral · AI labelView post →Favorite film for each year of the 21st century. 2006: Children of Men #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →First shown 20 years ago OTD, Alfonso Cuaron's blistering adaptation of Children Of Men. IMO probably the greatest mainstream movie of the 21st century. Unfortunately each passing year of Farageism, makes it feel less dystopian sci-fi and more prescient warning.
positive · AI labelView post →Good news! You live in a movie. Bad news: CHILDREN OF MEN
neutral · AI labelView post →settle a disagreement for me and my partner: is Children of Men a Christmas movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched Children of Men and most of movie is perfect cinema but I still find it cloyingly Christian in the same way Gravity is.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Children of Men while I work and a what a movie. Meticulously made and frightening prescient. Even more now that it was almost 20 years ago.
positive · AI labelView post →Also, and again, maybe just me. But the more I thought about it the more I felt the film Children of Men (2006) did it better.
positive · AI labelView post →The film is called Children of Men even though there's only one child in it, which is a singular not a plural
neutral · AI labelView post →Children of Men is my favorite movie of all time- despite its incredibly grim portrayal of the world, it emphasizes the importance of hope in very dark times, stand up for what’s right, and fight for our future.
positive · AI labelView post →BBC showing, "Children of Men" at this hour. (I swear someone loves putting it on when things are going down.) It remains a film that shows hope isn't something made of lightness. Hope has a lot of anger pushing it every single day.
positive · AI labelView post →Can we please get a 4K Children of Men release for the 20th anniversary this year. This film deserves better. We deserve better
positive · AI labelView post →Thinking very seriously about writing a 33 1/3-length neutron bomb of a book about the making and meaning of CHILDREN OF MEN (2006) in time for 16 Nov 2027 I have a fuckton of material that I didn't use for my 2016 feature on the film (Clive Owen interview, every script draft, producer gossip, etc)
positive · AI labelView post →Children of Men type movie where a heroic poultry farmer has to transport the last hen to the last rooster
neutral · AI labelView post →Imagine the movie "Children of Men," but instead of protecting the last fertile woman in the UK, it's the last man without a receeding hairline in America. This still shot should help build the the picture in your minds eye
neutral · AI labelView post →I cannot stress to you enough how much you probably need to revisit the movie Children of Men. The central conflict is movement infighting in the middle of the battle for reproductive freedom and immigration justice. It’s an incredibly beautiful, slightly traumatizing movie, especially now.
positive · AI labelView post →I've seen "Children of Men" in a theater and 3-4 times again on smaller screens and no other movie has stayed in my dreams like that. I really think it's the greatest film of the century so far.
positive · AI labelView post →Me in 2006: "Damn, Children of Men is a great movie but I don't know if the UK in 2027 is gonna be that bad." Me in 2025: "What the fuck is wrong with that country. Why are they trying to make Children of Men come true"

neutral · AI labelView post →The film "Children of Men" was first released (in the UK) twenty years ago this week. If you haven't seen it, it's one of the most beautiful, intense science-fiction movies of all time. Hard to believe it's been two decades.

neutral · AI labelView post →Hats off to Alfonso Cuarón for making Children of Men immediately after directing the only half-decent Harry Potter movie, working with JK Rowling clearly left the poor guy utterly appalled at Britain.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Children of Men and I gotta say this is the most fucking 2025 movie
neutral · AI labelView post →'Children of Men' - arguably the best damn film ever made - is now free to watch on BBC I-player. Watch it!
positive · AI labelView post →And yes Children of Men is just a utterly phenomenal film regardless of the larger discourse or media critique. Several scenes and pieces of imagery are just absolutely the best that has ever been done.
positive · AI labelView post →20 years of Children of Men this year, baby. In a 2026 that is wildly divergent from the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun movie fact: that's author of Children of Men, P.D. James in the middle photo holding the doggie
neutral · AI labelView post →" . . . from the hit novel and film DO NOT CREATE THE WORLD FROM 'CHILDREN OF MEN' comes . . . the world of CHILDREN OF MEN!"
neutral · AI labelView post →Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men is an exquisite film, showing us the violence, cruelty, and suffering of a future that's nearly indistinguishable from our present and asking us to not look away, no matter how painful the parallels might be...
positive · AI labelView post →Time to escape our bleak reality with a first time watch of a movie called *checks notes* CHILDREN OF MEN here we gooooo
neutral · AI labelView post →As a "why is the UK Like That" movie, Children of Men has aged even better imo
positive · AI labelView post →CHILDREN OF MEN — the film (which is 20 this year and is set in 2027) — holds up too well.
neutral · AI labelView post →Children of Men is a better action movie than 99% of this century’s action films and Clive Own doesn’t pick up a gun even once in it.
positive · AI labelView post →Setting: Future dystopian hellscape The film: 'Children of Men' Relevant message for today: When the soldiers saw a newborn, they stopped shooting

neutral · AI labelView post →Children of Men is a borderline book with a cool premise, adapted into an incredible movie.
positive · AI labelView post →That movie is going to go down the Children of Men road, where everyone slowly realizes it was on to something
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh boy, Children of Men is on again which means I have to watch it because it's the law. The greatest dystopian film ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →Hmm... I wonder if I could actually get my shit together to write a CHILDREN OF MEN book (expanding on my acclaimed NYMag feature about the film from a while back) that could publish on... ...16th November 2027
neutral · AI labelView post →I also think about Children of Men a lot because, yow, what a well-shot film. But I admit I usually think of it at the detriment of other films. As in, "This Odyssey ain't no Children of Men"!
