"Children" is a masterpiece
Alfonso Curaron's Children of Men is "another sort of fairytale altogether, one cloaked in the mystique of dystopia. It's a film as unflinching in its bleakness as it is penetrating in its deep-seeded sentimentality. And in manifesting one of the most horrific visions of the future [that have been] yet committed to film, Cuaron has given us his masterpiece, the crowning achievement of 2006." -- Kris Tapley, In Contention.

I enjoyed the progressive rock bits. In the Court of the Crimson King in the soundtrack and the giant inflatable pig floating up in the air next to a smokestack. I recommend both the film and the album by King Crimson.

There's so much detail in this movie. And, you made me look -- Karen Elliott and Rebecca Gatrell are the music supervisors. Kris T. wrote excellently; among other things, liked his observation of pets in the movie.
