High Art (1998)
High, but not so mighty

"High Art" is a film that suffers too much from clichés. The cliché of drug addicts being losers, the cliché of young go-getters stepping on people to get where they want to go, the cliché of lesbians being promiscuous. This film suffered from a woeful lack of character development, as well. Other than taking drugs, the characters didn't really share anything in common or have much of a life outside their apartments. I didn't believe for a minute that Syd and Lucy could seriously have feelings for each other. That said, I think the acting was quite good by everyone in the cast. Of course, not good enough to rescue this film. A good idea gone bad, and good talent wasted.
