Set in a bleak future where humans can no longer procreate, Alfonso Cuarón’s remarkable adaptation of P.D. James’s novel depicts a former activist (Clive Owen) who gets enlisted by his former comrades to help transport a high-priority refugee across England. Once he discovers her astonishing secret, this already chaotic dystopian world becomes even more unstable and violent.
