It's the year 2073, and the worst fears of modern life have been realized. Surveillance drones fill the burnt orange skies and militarized police roam the wrecked streets, while survivors hide away underground, struggling to remember a free and hopeful existence. In this ingenious mixture of visionary science fiction and speculative nonfiction, Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy) transports us to a future foreshadowed by the terrifying realities of our present moment. Two-time Academy Award® nominee Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet and Lowdown, Minority Report) plays a survivor besieged by nightmare visions of the past--a past that happens to be our present, visualized through contemporary footage interconnecting today's global crises of authoritarianism, unchecked big tech, inequality, and global climate change. 2073 is an urgent, unshakable vision of a dystopic future that could very well be our own.

“2073” is a slick video essay within the trappings of a sci-fi movie, but there’s not enough narratively to grab audiences beyond the scaremongering.

Rated: 1.5/4

Derek Smith

Slant Magazine

A clunky fusion of sci-fi fiction and political documentary, Asif Kapadia’s 2073 shakes us into submission via a series of cursory rundowns of crumbling democracies, the weaponization of social media, rising xenophobia, and more.

Rated: 1/4

Variety

Agitprop is rarely designed to rouse anyone’s rational and decent impulses yet it’s hard to think of a better term to describe Kapadia’s polemical approach. It’s too easy for noble intentions to get lost when there are grievous lapses in judgement.

Culture Mix

Pretentious and derivative, 2073 is a doomsday docudrama that combines dreary apocalypse scenes with left-wing political lecturing. There's too much whining and not enough talk about practical solutions.

Cinemalogue

Taking swipes at broad and familiar targets, the film makes some persuasive points that should stir righteous indignation, although it rarely digs beneath the surface for new insight.

[T]he movie's odd structure, hasty and incomplete arguments, and sense of familiarity are too confounding for its warnings to really have an impact.

Rated: 2/4
