This is a warning
Inspired by Chris Marker's iconic 1962 featurette La Jetée; the year is 2073—a not-so-distant dystopian future—and the setting is New San Francisco, the scorched-earth tech-dominant police state where democracy and personal freedom have been well and truly obliterated.

**Score: 6/10 — A Visceral, Uneven, and Deeply Frustrating Warning Shot** Asif Kapadia, the director behind masterful documentaries like *Amy* and *Senna*, takes a sharp left turn with *2073*. This is not a straightforward documentary. It's a hybrid—what Kapadia dubs "speculative non-fiction"—that intercuts a fictional dystopian narrative with real archival footage and interviews to argue that we are sleepwalking toward catastrophe . The ambition is admirable, the craft is often stunning, and Samantha Morton delivers a heartbreaking performance with almost no dialogue. Yet the film ultimately frustrates as much as it haunts, earning a **6/10** for its noble intentions and undeniable power, weighed down by a structural messiness and a lack of narrative payoff. **What Works: The Mood, The Performance, The Warning** The fictional thread of *2073* follows a mute woman named "Ghost" (Samantha Morton) living in the ruins of San Francisco after an undefined "Event" in the 2030s . She hides in a decaying mall, scavenging and writing her memories as a warning to the past, while surveillance drones and military police hunt survivors. It's bleak, claustrophobic, and visually arresting. Morton
