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.

While there’s much to admire in its form, 2073 leaves the viewer with the overwhelming sense that we’ve already run out of road.

I don't buy any of it. If you want to make a documentary, make a documentary.

Financial Times

Through [Morton], Kapadia audits the morbid symptoms he argues are taking us there: climate breakdown fueled by what journalist Anne Applebaum calls a global "democracy recession" and the influence of tech leaders set on leaving the planet altogether.

Rated: 3/5

Film Frenzy

The trouble with 2073 is that not only does it employ an unwieldy gimmick as its foundation but it places it in the service of a “preaching to the choir” piece.

Rated: 2/4

2073 doesn’t rise above the level of “interesting” in its narrative and visual approach – and its bleakness is likely to drag you into despair.

Appreciate what the filmmaker was trying to do, but to only pick on certain groups and ignore the damage being done by others (as it fit his "agenda"). I do like to view things from many sides, but couldn't finish this. Love Samantha Morton. She deserved better

I didn't know anything about the film before watching, and was pleasantly surprised by the sci-fi/fantasy/documentary blend. Is it a feel good film? No. Is it factual representation of where we have been politically and and warning on where we are going? YES. I highly recommend this film. Very informative.

Worst movie I have ever seen. They sucker you in thinking you’re about to see an apocalypse thriller, just to cut to 15 min block of fake, exaggerated, far left rhetoric. Tired of politics in movies, or fake documentaries, I guess?? Politics aside, the movie was ruined with the documentary style blocks.

Spoiler Alert: It’s all the GOP’s fault. Why does seemingly every movie have to make a political statement that causes derision? If anything, this is the future under the Far Left progressives who censored anyone who even asked if their president was losing his cognition.

More of a documentary than a movie. Want to see all the horrible things that are happening around the world in an easy to digest film? This ones for you. A lot of real world footage used to represent life in 2073 including "PagPag" which is the cleaning and eating of food found in the dump
