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.

Lacking anything resembling a compelling plot, narrative arc, or coherent themes, the movie was comprised of a bunch of stock footage and generic interviews about rising authoritarianism, climate change, and tech-bro oligarchy. There was no attempt to weave these together and it just rambled along for ~1.5 hrs.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

If MSNBC, ABC,and CNN would make a movie, this is it. Very trashy.

While a bleak look into our future, it also reminds us that we have the power to change the future before it happens. While the movie is very well shot and the recent footage of dictators, billionaires, and the social elite forming the world into what it will eventually become in the vision of 2073's director it also maintains the point that we still have control over our lives currently before we reach that point of no return. Overall I thought it was s brilliant movie and an elegant warning of what could happen if people stop paying attention to the world around them and not just themselves.

I don’t know why there are so many bad reviews of this movie. It’s not a popular genre of, say, comedy, rom com, etc. but it is excellent and we have a duty to watch this and stop the destruction of the earth!!!

Walked in thinking this would be a dystopian sci-film film, greatly disappointed. 15 minutes of good build up, then an hour long political ad.

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
