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.

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.

You can’t help but admire Kapadia’s commitment to feel-bad cinema, his refusal to end on any false note of hope.

Little White Lies

Certainly, the film is uncompromisingly, unrelentingly furious, as it remorselessly holds to light the countless dystopias we currently live under and tolerate.

Our present is the backstory to something much more horrifying, and if Kapadia hits us over the head with this idea, it's only because of the urgency with which it needs to be recognized.

PopMatters

We are left with an innovative, intriguing story that shocks and scares but still works better as a paradigmatic dystopia than a political parable.

Luke Hicks

The Film Stage

The preachy tone betrays the film, giving it a seedy, conspiratorial feel when there is nothing conspiratorial about it all––just plain, simple, broad, and necessary economic and political facts.
