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.

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.

Excellent in many ways, especially because of its fearless truth. Hollywood's false 'humanity-will-triumph because some brave American will rescue us' doesn't exist here. What is shown is a future we will have allowed to happen if we don't tear ourselves away from brain-destroying phones and act together. It's a really courageous and important piece of work. A documentary style analysis exposes the increasing merger between big tech oligarchs, dictators, and Western politicians who want to replace democracy. There is also a sci-fi look into the dystopian future this will inevitably create through the experience of a person in that time (year 2073). Really good cinema can sometimes be terrifying, like this. It's also interesting, informative, and even empowering in a bleak way. Definitely worth watching and even important you do - detox yourself from candyfloss cinema.

Watch this movie. It will take ALL of us to repair our democracy. It’s not about left vs. right; it’s about the top 1% vs. the rest of us. If we fail, this movie shows us just how scary our future will be once we are stripped of our freedoms. I HIGHLY recommend this movie to everyone.

Solid take on the world at the present. The road we are taking as a whole and where it most likely will take us.

The fear of the outcome — not believing this form of global outcome is realistic leaves critics here to deny the possibility without drastic changes of systems. Great movie showcasing the final chapter of these exploitative systems our world lives in.

I tried twice. It was legit in its storytelling. But I was bored ultimately and turned it off.
