High-Rise [Blu-ray] [2015]

If you don't know what to expect when going into 'High-rise', you may be put off. It is a 70's period film that is based on the novel of the same name, which was written in direct response to Maragret Thatcher's politics. The film is absolutely bonkers, as almost all of Wheatley's work is. It's graphic, one might say confusing, it definitely isn't for the faint of heart. To me, it's a visual masterpiece, definitely one I am happy to own, but not one I will be rewatching regularly.

the high rise becomes its own little world with a class struggle from the people with money who live at the top and the others who live on the lower floors. i mostly got the movie because of luke edwards. i was not disappointed. he does a great job and shows how versatile his ability in acting.

good story, well acted. The trope of "bad" building making people crazy was handled well.

An eerie and attractive film with so much outstanding talent in it that I'm surprised it's not more popular.

A disaster of bad editing and pacing, even to the point of having to have characters literally say what was happening as a part of dialogue to establish scenes. It was well shot for beautiful images, but as a narrative I wasn’t impressed. I guess this just isn't my shtick.

This movie is not for everyone but it does make you think. Multiple viewings are necessary to get the full scope of what is happening.

While I didn't get the chance to see it in a theater, I rented it on Amazon when it was first released. I loved it. Tom Hiddleston is wonderful as Dr Laing, but Luke Evans shines as Wilder. I found his character much more interesting than Laing, though both performances are amazing. A social study set in the '70s but somehow feeling futuristic, High-Rise takes a harsh look at the class system, people and their motivations.

This is some what drama mixed with science fiction. The acting was well, but the movie didn't bring out the excitement I wanted especially with being a fan of Tom Hiddleston.
