Reception
[edit]Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated the film with 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "2073 is certainly a relevant shout of rage against the authoritarian forces despoiling our democracy and our environment -- and the bland and complaisant naivety that’s letting it happen."[8]
Lee Marshall reviewing for ScreenDaily giving positive review wrote, "Does the alternation between documentary inserts and sci-fi superstructure work? Not always... But Kapadia and his co-scribe Tony Grisoni seem to understand that the pummelled audience can take only so much cinematic doomscrolling."[9]
