Review of High Art (1998) by Roxanne R — 20 Apr 2010
Ally Sheedy gives a great performance as Lucy Berliner, a once famous photographer whose career is revitalized when she meets Syd (played by Radha Mitchell) who is a lovely young assistant editor for a prestigious photography magazine.
Withdrawn from the art world, Lucy is reawakened by Sid who offers her the hope of escaping her drug-filled world. Before Syd realizes it, she is drawn into Lucy's seductive and dangerous mix while forced to make choices she never imagined.
This is an intense movie and very gritty, dark, and at times sad because you see how talented Lucy is yet she has allowed drugs to rule her world. Can Syd save her in time or will it be too late? You have to watch the movie! Recommended and added to my private collection.
