Review of High Life (2018) by Ken S — 08 Oct 2018
High Life was such a glorious mind f*ck. Can't wait to see it again. It is a challenging watch. The why's and wherefores are slowly and at time obscurely revealed in flashbacks to different times in the past.
Less sci-fi and more psychosexual drama in space. It's far too trippy to be considered mainstream, but it's geat if you've got the patience. Robert Pattinson has been on a tear lately, with nothing but excellent performances (Good Time and The Lost City of Z.
) Shout out to badass Claire Tran. Do they give Oscars to babies? She's a veritable star. The scenes between her and Pattinson were dynamic and a joy. A total set up for the lurking gut punches. Juliette Binoche is fantastically unhinged, Mia Goth is unnerving as 'big booty' Boyse.
Would have liked more scenes between Andre Benjamin and Pattinson. And Pattinson and Binoche. Their flirty banter was some of the best bits of dialogue.
