Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Having been a fan of J.G.Ballard's novel of the same name, I had my doubts about converting this to cinematic storytelling. Director Ben Wheatly actually comes close to Ballard's vision of societal breakdown within the confines of a single "high-rise". The novel is much more dry and caustic, where as this film is more visceral and in your face, which is actually what makes it so good.

Trippy movie staring Tom Hiddleston about what happens when the underlying rules of society totally break down.

This a a pretty interesting and entertaining move that only hard core independent movie fans will enjoy.

Odd yet beautiful. The characters are compelling and the story's twists will keep you engaged.

Ben Wheatley has made some pretty amazing films. This is def a film worth checking out.

Tom H is great in the movie. It's not the best, but for the price asked, not bad.

This was a slow starting movie for me but it worked out to be entertaining

I bought this movie because I enjoy the acting by Tom Hiddleston in his prior films. This film is more of an futuristic comedy drama. Luke Evans does a great job in the film as well along with Jeremy Irons. The film show you everything that can go wrong in an apartment association with divided classes.

I liked this flick, but know what you're getting into before viewing!

I expected better but was still a good movie. Not great but not bad

Was on the fence but it paid off. Great price for such a great cast

A powerful and suspensive movie preferably for mature audiences.
