Review of High-Rise

High-Rise (2015)
1/10
A dizzying mess
24 November 2016
What the hell was this supposed to be? I could barely make any sense of it all. I see most of the positive reviews have acknowledged that this film is 'strange'. I can tolerate strange, but this was just incoherent madness.

Large parts of the film are just back to back scenes of pointless chaos, partying and bizarre events that make absolutely no sense. How many times do we need to see Mr Laing shower? And how many women do we need to see Mr Laing have sex with? Was I supposed to be following some sort of plot here?

'High-Rise' is a dizzying mess of a film, and even those who can get their head around the 'story' the film is supposed to be telling will struggle to stay interested.
