Hi! I downloaded this ages ago, watched it for the first time yesterday. It took me ages to find your LJ again to leave feedback -- you didn't put your name in the titles! Thankfully I remembered, so I can tell you how much I adore it.
Purely in terms of visuals Children of Men is one of my favourite films. It just seems crying out to be pulled closer, cut into pieces, reassembled -- you really distill its essence. I especially loved the way you used the school footage to set it up, and the emotional punch of the scenes with theo and Julian. But all of it, really -- the song and your editing capture the film's mood perfectly.

Also, the titles are beautiful.
