High Life's reviews
Media reviews
El Mundo
+ The incredibly risky jobs of Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche. - Don't trust doomsayers and skeptics, the movie isn't confusing, it's just it like to make scones with confusion.
The Hollywood Reporter
Without Denis? typically transfixing aesthetics and with a storyline that lumbers along in places, 'High Life' is not always an easy sit, even if occasional outbursts of violence spice up the action in distressing ways.
ABC
Time, tone and genre mix in order to the plot makes any sense, another one different to stare at the film.
Fotogramas
Pushing and shoving storytelling with nonsense details (is it necessary the frame to announce the gender of the baby?). And the strangest thing: the absence of her usual look over passion and desires.
Cinemanía
The idea of an incurable society, divided and far from earth. There's no rules, neither in this little company enclosed in yellowish walls nor the complex, controversial and confused triumphal entry that Claire Denis has done in the genre.
El Periódico
'High life' contains incredibly violent moments, but this brutality is complemented by warmth moments. Is a shocking, seductress and overwhelming movie, which stays in mind and demands successive viewings.
El Mundo
The director of 'Les Salauds' composes the most furious, uncomfortable and fascinating movie not only from his filmography, but also in a long time. And all of it without giving up her cinema identity, wich is vocationally abstract, sensory and voluptuous and makes the screen to have a carnal, rough and dark touch.
El País
The film, as Ballard would wanted, points the attention to the lights and shadows of inner space of the characters, while the spacial vehicle moves.
