      Dark and queer enough to catch your attention but lacking the story power to hold it, Metropia is an aesthetic in search of an author.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      The colors are mostly gray tones with the sharp, disturbing animation that works well for a thriller. However, Metropia is weighed down by a convoluted plot.

      The New York Times

      Technically innovative but narratively moribund, Metropia is all stasis and shadows. Perhaps Mr. Saleh could have listened to a lighter voice.

      Variety

      The characters at first seem photorealistic, but their faces barely move. There are good, basic sci-fi ideas in the script, but they're not satisfyingly developed.
