Synopsis
Monte (Robert Pattinson) and his infant daughter are the only passengers on a dingy space ship bound for an inevitable collision course with a black hole. This hallucinogenic, fractured science fiction story from acclaimed director Claire Denis — her first English-language film — spins back through the events that led these two people to their fate.
The truth behind Monte’s voyage to the end of the solar system, and the incredible story of what happened to the ship’s former crew — and the maniacal doctor who drove them to the brink of sanity — is like a twisted and perverse riff on 2001: A Space Odyssey featuring Juliette Binoche, André Benjamin, and Mia Goth alongside Pattinson.

deahApr 19, 2019can't believe they missed the perfect opportunity to use the tagline "in space, no one can hear you cream"
anthonyArriving veery fashionably late to this party BUT. This is way more brilliant than I thought it'd be. According to Denis this is her most heart-warming film and it's apparently, at its core, about love. That changed much of how I looked at this thing. She takes something…

Very disappointing. Shoves the most interesting element of the story into the final 15-20 minutes, which is a shame because it fills the remaining time with nonsense of the highest caliber. After a decently compelling start, it descends into a haphazard bombardment of…

- Ani N. is "meh" onHigh Life
I get the point of this movie, it’s actually pretty straightforward despite trying to be complex in its creativity which likely leads to confusion for many and why many won’t like it. I can appreciate all the symbolism but I didn’t care for much of the directors choices, so, meh
Noah is "meh" onHigh LifeWell that was a weird one
cambria dislikedHigh Life2/10 -i had such high hopes for this one… i’m disappointed -what was the reason for SA and dead dogs??? -maybe i don’t get the point of it… or maybe it’s just a bad movie -2 points only because the concept would be cool if it was done right -pointless buildup that led to nothing

Don’t watch with your parents. Automatic L for me
Miki dislikedHigh LifeWtf. I only added this to my watchlist because of Robert Pattinson and Mia Goth being in a film together - but this is hot garbage. The acting was so bad and the story made no sense? Everyone is just dying or killing themselves for the strangest reasons. And I understand going insane, but that did…
Bennie is "meh" onHigh LifeHigh Life has strong, bleak visuals that feel artsy, yet pretentious. I love the idea of a philosophical sci-fi but a lot here wasn’t working for me. Just leaned too heavily into mood, metaphor, & the abstract. All the uncomfortable sex scenes don’t feel worth it in the end. 5.5
- Olivia is "meh" onHigh Life
So many feelings about this movie i feel crazy. I just wanted Star Wars baby daddy Robert Pattinson, not scenes so scary I had to skip forward. This movie is vile and I wanted to gauge my eyes out, but cinematically is one of the best I have ever seen. Pls read content warnings!!
Henry watching sessions dislikedHigh LifeThis is one of the more uncomfortable movie what I have ever seen. There is child nudity, adult sexuality, sexual abuse, weird intentions, silent cold blooded violence and so on. My expectation was so different. I expected scifi lab horror but nope This is REALLY artsy film.
Andre is "meh" onHigh LifeThis movie was really weird and bizarre and Ik it’s A24 but still 😵💫 also it’s kinda boring and uncomfortably sexual. There’s just a lot of roads that lead to nothing but more confusion. Like the movie is trying to say something but i never got a sense of what🤷🏽♂️ 5/10

A movie that can’t be explained it must be experienced.
RMRyan McCainwell. what to say. I'm an hour into it and I'm still not sure what is going on. I usually like odd movies but this is pretty boring. I bet an artsy type of person would appreciate more.
TPTyler PinegarExistential, hard sci-fi art-house flick.

The lure of intense mystery that beguiles you into trying to solve it again and again; the transference of an intoxication that makes you feel physically different afterwards. It sounds hyperbolic to describe art as having such power, but surely the reason we care about art is a belief that such power exists. High Life is too layered, too ambiguous, too potent to be about any one thing.

Transfixing? A bore? I cannot answer for you. If think Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” is as far out as you go with this sort of setting, this is not your thing. Undeniably, though, High Life is an organic achievement.
