The critical consensus

A rich documentary meditating on the future of urban life from filmmaker Paul Bush.

****(*)Tony McKibbin, The List, 06/03/2013

There is something of Iain Sinclair, JG Ballard and Italo Calvino here, and of the night-time Paris in Godard's Alphaville: dark, cold and unromantic; a new city of the future.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 07/03/2013

There are occasional nuggets of useful information and striking insights, but it's mostly predictable pessimistic stuff, lacking anything humane (in the manner of say Julien Temple's recent film London: The Modern Babylon) or informed by Dickensian gusto.

Philip French, The Observer, 10/03/2013

Ambitious, gorgeous, and often as impenetrable as an algebraic equation.
