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.

Critics Consensus

2073 is visually striking and occasionally haunting, but its preachy tone, derivative dystopian tropes, and air of exhausted fatalism leave it more dispiriting than entertaining.

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.

3/5

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.

Orion's Shoulder (Substack)

Dec 31, 2025

Amy filmmaker Asif Kapadia's clear-eyed wrangling with fake news blurs the documentary form to posit where our surveillance state and bad actors will lead us in the future, with Blade Runner-like fictional sequences led by Samantha Morton.

2/4

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.
