    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Robert Pattinson already knew 13-month-old Scarlett Lindsey, who plays his baby daughter Willow: She is the daughter of his longtime friend, musician Sam Bradley, whom he knows since their school days together in London. Identical twin girls were initially cast, but as late as two days before filming was about to start, Pattinson couldn't bond with them, as they wouldn't stop crying as soon as he picked them up and got upset every time they were without their mother. He and Claire Denis felt not ready to shoot with them because the final film would have ended up entirely different. The night before filming began, Pattinson had the idea to ask his friend the last minute and so they flew in from London the next morning. She actually took her first steps ever infront of the camera while filming.
    • Goofs
      The characters go spacewalking in Russian style spacesuits, which have fabric hoods. The hoods stay soft and un-inflated, even during spacewalks in a vacuum.
    • Quotes

      Tcherny: "I'd rather sink into the Earth after I've lost you than to sit around and grieve once you've gone off into your destiny."

      Monte: What are you talking' about?

      Tcherny: It's what my wife told me. I told her I was doing all this for her and our son, to turn our shame into some type of glory, you know? She says that this mission was like burying her twice and that my idea of glory was bullshit.

    Did Claire Denis Even Want Anyone to Watch This?
    I will never understand that camp of filmmakers who make their movies so off putting it's like they don't even want anyone to watch them. Then why make them?

    "High Life" feels like a bunch of randomly connected scenes populated by actors performing by themselves that were then edited together later to make it look like they were all in the same movie. These people aren't characters, or at least not characters of any depth that we learn anything about or care anything for. The film is maddeningly obtuse, needlessly so. It's one thing to make an audience do some work in putting the pieces of a film together, but another thing entirely to make that task impossible because you don't give them enough information to do so. I was physically uncomfortable watching this movie, in that fidgety, squirmy way I'm uncomfortable when a movie is so tedious and boring that I'm struggling to pay attention.

    And this movie has to have one of the most ridiculous masturbation scenes ever put on screen. I usually adore Juliette Binoche, but oh my goodness was she out of her depth with this one.
