Poster for the film THE POD GENERATION

The Pod Generation

Opened August 11—One Week Only

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 a fondness 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.

"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
"Ejiofor is eminently relatable as an analog man who can't seem to understand where it all went wrong, and Clarke's eyebrows knit with such pained expressiveness, it's as if they're having their own wriggling monologue throughout the movie."
Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly
