Review of High Life (2018)

Claire Denis’ grotesque, mesmerizing, one-of-a-kind new science fiction movie…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 04 Apr 2019

Too often the ideas here, visual and otherwise, feel haphazard — outer and inner space, Pattinson’s head, sexual taboo, apocalypse now…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Courtney Duckworth (5) for Time Out (7,510) on 03 Apr 2019

Sparse in dialogue, High Life demands unrelenting restraint from Pattinson, whose Monte, an off-kilter ascetic, is fascinating…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 02 Apr 2019

With Denis there’s always more than meets the prism of snap judgements. Let the movie mess with your head…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Marshall Shaffer (93) for Vague Visages (31) on 23 Jan 2019

Denis disrupts the steady forward progress of an objective-driven story by unmooring High Life from narrative gravity altogether…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Nick Johnston (30) for Vanyaland (29) on 09 Dec 2018

It's proof positive that no matter the genre or the language or the actors she uses, [Denis is] one of the most capable masters of the craft…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Monica Reid (48) for Far Out Magazine (48) on 06 Nov 2018

Review of High Life (2018)

By Jonathan Romney (434) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 30 Oct 2018

For now, I'll settle for saying that the shock and richness of High Life are wonderfully enchanting and perplexing…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Joey Magidson (137) for Awards Circuit (53) on 08 Oct 2018

The truth is that there is no message…

Review of High Life (2018)

Review of High Life (2018)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 20 Sep 2018

Review of High Life (2018)

By Tomas Trussow (247) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 18 Sep 2018

Even when Denis preps us to have a chuckle, she is quick to remind us that we're not going to get a campy cult classic out of her…

Review of High Life (2018)

By Alexandra Heller-Nicholas (78) for AWFJ Women on Film (16) on 17 Sep 2018
