High Life reviewed by Mark Kermode

[@joanr6915]

What a lovely way to describe Robert Pattison - a man of substance, which is what he is. For the doubters out there who still can't see past Twilight, I suggest you watch Good Time, where his performance was Oscar-worthy, and that is not an exaggeration. Obviously word has got around as he'll be starring in the next Christopher Nolan movie. I've been an admirer of his now for eight years, and have thoroughly enjoyed the journey. I hope he continues taking us to unexpected places.

[@gf2915]

I found it disappointing. Aside from the opening shot of bodies drifting in space,which had a degree of visual flair, it was flatly made, and thematically dull. The long ridiculously over the top masturbation scene, the predictable descent of the characters into violence, the film says nothing of interest about anything - the cosmos, human psychology etc

[@bertmacklin2788]

I thought this movie was just not good. We can talk about its themes and meta textual meaning, but the characters in this movie have no depth. I get that the movie wants to be a character study of how how these people act when isolated in space, but when we have no idea what those people were like before they were on the ship: all analysis is meaningless.

[@PirateZ1]

I like Mark's take but in my opinion the movie felt kinda weak and confused in its attempts to execute an underlying narrative. Some of the acting towards the end was very questionable also. I'd still recommend it for Robert Patinson's acting alongside the baby those moments alone warrant supporting this film.

[@angierobertson2907]

I’m looking forward to seeing this and Rob’s future films. People do underestimate his acting abilities. Like someone said in the comments, I agree, he deserves an Oscar nomination, was sadly overlooked. Hopefully will in the future. People always refer to him as the Twilight guy. He made an impression if people remember him and fortunately because of it, got his foot in the door to work with other directors. Cosmopolis was another great performance although the story could of been better. Also, Bel Ami. Remember Me and Water For Elephants are my favorite movies of his. Unfortunately people do not see Indy films as much the quality is there but the budget doesn’t allow for advertising like a major release as well as they do not seem to have long running showings of them, also a drawback for people who may not be able to see them right away, having to wait for dvd or Netflix/Hulu.

[@sweeperboy]

Quite difficult to find a screening of this close to where I live in the three multiplexes within easy reach. However, I've managed to find a screening in a new arthouse cinema that I've been meaning to check out for a little while, so two birds with one stone!

[@Otokichi786]

I watched the movie and found the dialogue far too choppy/soft/muffled. I turned on Closed Captioning and found that I had missed a plot point or two, but found that "Dark Star" (1974) was better at this "long (and possibly pointless) mission in space" genre. Also, the credit crawl was impossible to see/register, even with the room lights turned out.

I enjoyed it and look for it to be one of those not so big now movies , that will garner a real cult following in years to come. May I say that as soon as I heard the ending song'Willow', I knew Robert was singing and found his voice completely amazing. I'd never heard him sing. Let's cut him loose from the Twilight and start associating him with his newer body of work. It's time and he deserves it.

Beautifully put. Yes, for me too it didn't quite hit those marks - of haunt, baffle, amaze, frustration, shock, wonder.

[@flufflepuff8639]

I love Robert as an actor and that he got to do a movie with this director whom he admires and Claire Denis (movie director) is obviously a very talented and deep individual who has been in the movie business for a very long time. I Also loved that he got to do a piece of music finally for one of his movies that actually showcases his musical talent as well! It's almost worth sitting through the movie to hear it during roll credit. almost....unless you are fine with the uncomfortable taboo subject matter on screen. (I would watch alone as a heads up) Overall.....I would say this movie was hauntingly bleak...not beautiful cinematography use at all like so many are calling it...and I am the type of woman that sees beauty in dark decaying matter....and I consider myself pretty open-minded and excepting of "out there" stuff, but this movie is not one I will watch again or tell anyone at all (even those I dislike) that they should go see this movie. I guess that's why I am so desperate to read and respond to reviews about this movie. The best thing about it is the way it lingers in your mind after to see it and you feel the need to debrief somehow from it with those who have seen it. Spoiler alert if you go on ..... The movie sets you up to feel a dropping of levels into the deep void of dread right from the very first scene intentionally letting you know everyone was going to die. I felt that dread throughout the whole movie climaxing at the abandonment of ship#9. The ending was death...I thought everyone would get that right? The ending was relief that it was over. I was really surprised to see reviews talking about the visceral sex scenes. No...this movie is nothing like porn or S and M or anything you can put into a category or how well it was done. Sex scenes in this movie were to me, all about embellishing that original deep level of dread. Flipping to a sweet scene of Monte with Willow did not lessen the dread at all, but enhanced it because you know that they are all happening in close quarters with one another even if many years go by in-between scenes....I took away no parallels that were enhanced in any way by the bond of a father to a daughter going next to the clashes that come about with all the other characters. I am wondering if everyone understood that no one on the ship was allowed to have intercourse with one another. That the women were to be impregnated by artificial insemination (which leaves one wondering why not the old fashioned way?)....as part of the experiment it was forbidden to actually have intercourse. I am guessing that was why the fuck-box was put there... so everyone could release themselves if the need had arisen. Only Monte chose to be monk-like and who could blame him after the disturbing sex scene where at the end you see an animal materialize from the sexual apparatus for a brief moment.. To each there own....but sex with a mid-evil looking machine dildo even if it does get soaped up with a sad car wash do dad when it's over...was gross. I am still wondering why the guys went in there too unless we assume they must all like it up the ass. Another taboo. Taboo is the strongest element to this movie...it is the word we see Monte trying to teach his daughter to say...it is the word that I see Monte showing the most emotion to. He comes alive during this scene whereas he looks like a dazed dream-walker in most scenes. After all the trouble Robert's character Monte got into because of a loved pet dog...why, oh why does he leave spacecraft #9 to its demise to suffer on. There are a lot of un-probabilities in this movie, but the biggest and most lasting one is that he denies even his daughter who has had nothing in her life to love but her father...he denies her that one tiny mercy. Out of all space, they happen to knock into #9? Then, abandon it to its fate, when a dog was what fated Monte ending up on ship # 7 presumably? For me, it was unforgivable and the girl puts up such a puny fuss, giving in to her dad's ultimatum too easily, that they cannot take on another life on board with no explanation other than it was dirty?...when he had held out some hope that whatever was on that ship might help them? I mean, I get the symbolism that all on those ships however many were sent out...were guinea pigs, given no rights and expected to die...each ship some sort of experiment...data entry logs being the key to one more day of life on the ship (life support cut off if an entry was not logged in) What I don't get is why the two ships both starving for love /death to end them...why not mix it up. Instead, the fate of both ships more sufferage until death is finally achieved. It was like throwing away god given miracles. And that would be Taboo as well....to throw away God-given gifts. So yeah, this movie is about many different scopes of Taboo. Also...who was that character who got shoved out of Monte's bed(and she is on her period)? I don't want to watch the movie again...which is actually what the movie's creators want you to do as one of their goals I think....but it was too bleak a movie to ever watch twice. I think it was a movie flip of time of which there are many...and the girl in his bed was his own daughter when she was teen sized? If so....then another weird Taboo scene for sure. So many tout this movie as being fresh and artsy... edgy for sure....but beautiful cinematography? Haaaawwh, strange shots that are dark sure...but in a depraved monotone sort of bland way. Nothing even hinted at beauty for me. Take the movie Melancholy...also an artsy dark-themed film. Every frame of Melancholy (starring Kristin Dunst) was mesmerically beautiful. Anyone that reviews High Life to have good cinematography...has to be very high on some sort distorted drug to rate it so. This movie leaves many questions ...like how they think a disturbed scientist would keep a lid on a crew full of criminals even with drugs put in the water that was supposed to dull them. Why are these fertilization experiments needed to be done in space? Surely they could be done just as well or better on earth. There is no one with any full control/weapon, not even the "pilot" has any control over anyone else (I actually like this idea of non-force except we know the unwanted force is still happening anyway on the women as they try and douch to not become pregnant). The purpose of gathering black hole info is weak....the recycling system is weak and what's up with a layer of plastic jugs of water that they never drink, but they will drink black water that's been filtered? Why does that first baby die? and on and on. I don't care about the other weird stuff that makes no sense, like the bodies he throws out into space by opening a door like its the outdoors of earth...the absurd space suits. the soapy water running out into the hallway...no poop on the floor of #9 but we see plenty of dead carcasses leading one to think they must eat the poop and pee but not the meat? I get that its a movie that is not concerned with little details but wants you to question the bigger themes. I think the theme is Taboo....how isolation makes taboo an inevitability. How we need to seriously think about the direction society is taking in its technology supporting isolation. ...but that's just my 2 cents. Many other reviews think the theme is something else entirely. Overall, I give this movie a C plus only because it does leave you with a lot to think about and no one you know personally you want to discuss the movie with, but a need to vent about it regardless. Poor movie organization/sound/acting/editing (music score could have been much more of but what was there was very fitting) Also, I hate it when dogs are involved with suffering even when depicted on movies. I do like the fact that this movie director wants you to really think and pay attention to be able to follow along....something American movies usually lack Again.to reiterate my admiration to the song, "Willow" is the most emotional part of the movie. Love it so much more when listening to it alone....trying to hear it right after such questionable movie distracts from its power. But if you can latch onto after viewing such things, you get such a treat and realize...this song is the most powerful part of the movie. Monte knows that both he and Willow will die in space, yet I can see him singing this song to her every night at bedtime to give her the gift of the memories he had from earth,,,, she will never know about these things he sings to her.....this is the only part of movie that is hauntingly beautiful in my opinion

Having seen very little of Robert Pattinson's acting, I'm not really qualified to offer an authoritative appraisal of his work.

I have no clue whether Ms Stewart has chops. All I can say is that from the tiny bit that I've seen, she's horrendous.
