Review of High Life

High Life (2018)
7/10
I loved it, although there are a lot a fluids

I found this movie engaging and bold. It took a lot of risks with the subject matter and the director managed to make a real gem of a sci fi film.

It's definitely better than average. Sitting for me somewhere between a 6 and a 7 but I'll go ahead and give it a 7. It stays with you long after you left the theater.

It also does the science really well and as you're watching it the feeling of isolation that you share with the characters on the screen is palpable. The director used the environment to create an unsettling tone, and I think the ship is practically its own character as well.

While it's perhaps not a perfect movie, some of the character choices are questionable and there are a lot of fluids being flung around, semen, blood, goo, whatever. I dunno.

It was fresh and memorable to say the least. Definitely worth a watch, especially if you like Robert Pattinson.
