in 2073, samantha morton and naomi ackie guide us through a world that is close enough to recognise but unsettling enough to feel like a warning. this dystopian future isn’t distant or fantastical; it feels like a twisted echo of now, where surveillance is constant and class divides leave many on the brink. kapadia’s direction blends documentary style with speculative storytelling in a way that feels natural rather than experimental for the sake of it. the images linger, not because they’re grand, but because they feel possible. with the critical praise and festival attention it has garnered, 2073 stands as a warning—a glimpse of a future that might still be avoided if we choose to pay attention.
