Review of High Life

High Life (2018)
6/10
Definitely not for everyone
14 July 2023
It's not a film for everyone, and you also need to be in the right mood to get through it. It's well-made, brutal at times, subtle at others, more human drama than science fiction. It's a drama set in a harsh and extremely unusual environment.

The actors and actresses are impeccable. They gave their 100% and that enhances the quality of this work. The author obviously wanted to bring to the screen human emotions that are often raw and often subtle.

However, as far as I'm concerned, I wasn't really in the right mood, and I found myself speeding things up by advancing certain scenes that seemed too slow and long. Unless you particularly like the subject matter of these scenes, it becomes hard to bear and you find yourself using fast forward... But overall, it's a nice work for people who love cinema..
