10 / 10
"Children of Men" may be something of a bummer, but it’s the kind of glorious bummer that lifts you to the rafters, transporting you with the greatness of its filmmaking.

8 / 10
A visually stunning Swiftian satire, "Children of Men" may appear clumsy, but its message is simple, heartfelt and ultimately rather moving.

Translated from swedish: The story unfolds at a fast pace but with respectful care for the narrative.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: But there the story is weak and fails to stick in my memory; there is another strong reason to watch "Children of Men": magnificent photography and clever technical solutions. Future films tend to be action-packed, and the director hasn't completely shied away from CGI, but he uses it sparingly, only to enhance the experience in certain scenes.

1. Roger Ebert
Cuaron fulfills the promise of futuristic fiction; characters do not wear strange costumes or visit the moon, and the cities are not plastic hallucinations, but look just like today, except tired and shabby.
