“The Girl with All the Gifts (2016) is a 2010s British dystopian sci-fi-thriller that stages genre elements through formal restraint. Its central conflict pits an immune child's potential cure against communal survival and is articulated through axial camera moves and composed tableaux. The film demands ethical attention by making cinematic form the vehicle for moral inquiry.”
