Review of High-Rise (2015) by Tom S — 14 Feb 2017
A clever, at times very bold film that finally is not nearly as profound as it sometimes seems. Its most remarkable choice, as Mike D'Angelo, is that of skipping the second half. But an aborted second half can't make up for the lackluster groove of the first and third -- "High-Rise" is ultimately very familiar territory (Snowpiercer, Children of Men), never bringing us any fresh themes or reflections on class, elitism or the impending apocalypse.
