A New York couple, Rachel (Emilia Clarke) and Alvy (Chiwetel Ejiofor), live in a not-so-distant future where technology provides ever-more convenient living. A rising tech company executive, Rachel lands a coveted spot at the Womb Center, which offers couples a convenient (and shareable) maternity by way of detachable artificial wombs, or pods. But Alvy, a botanist with an affection for nature, prefers a natural pregnancy. And yet, as Rachel?s AI therapist puts it, why is that ?natural?? So begins the tech-paved path to parenthood. [Roadside Attractions]

"Smart and perceptive."
— John Fink, The Film Stage
"Barthes’ thought-provoking script is backed by phenomenal performances from Clark and Ejiofor."
— Patrice Witherspoon, Screen Rant
"The Pod Generation is very much about our flesh, and the forces that are only too happy to take it away from us."
— Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"The Pod Generation foregrounds Rachel and Alvy’s relationship, exploring how technologies change our most intimate connections and raising questions from a world not so unlike our own."
— Alissa Wilkinson, Vox
"The Pod Generation is a science-fiction film with something to say and forces us to confront our future by asking questions. Just because we can screw around with biology, should we? Sophie Barthes’ futuristic tale is worth watching just for the conversation that’s bound to happen afterward."
— Alan Ng, Film Threat
