Movieline
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. - 50
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. - 50
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. - 50
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.
