Review of High-Rise (2015) by Seraphic W — 13 Jan 2017

The slick combination of contextual capriciousness and wayward symbolism gave me a serious cerebral hard-on. Another movie I couldn't possibly begin to dissect without falling into the bottomless pit of my own verbal excitement that could very well keep me glued to this computer for hours I can't really spare.

Exciting project, fabulous acting, and a multifaceted message that comes across loud, clear and unfiltered. Jeremy Irons and Tom Hiddleston make for an impressive duo, elevating the directorial vision's dystopian glamour to mythical heights. Bracketed with Clint Mansell's tailored musical outfit, everything comes together in complete synergy to perfectly structure a movie about fundamental destruction.

Minus a star over a few snags relating some of the wooden side performances and organic flow issues at times -- but that's just me being stingy with my fifth.
