中共官方媒体《环球时报》2016年1月22日的社评称电影《十年》，“在内地人看来，这部片子是完全荒诞的，它所描绘的场景十年后不可能在香港出现”。但事实上，电影《十年》中预言的中共统治下的香港的场景，正一一变为现实。

Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.
