High Life (2018)
10/10
The point is that there is no point
23 April 2019
I had to sit with this one for a few days after watching, and I just have to say that when a movie refuses to leave your mind it did something right, that's all you can really hope for when watching a movie. I'm a big fan of sci fi and outer space movies especially when it is blended with Drama. Ironically, if you over analyze this you'll pick up on little nitpicks that are beyond the scope of what you should really focus on which is that there is no point. Humans are trash and we're all headed towards an impending doom. Not every movie needs to entertain you (albeit this is for a very niched crowd of art films). I think A24 is ballsy for even continuing to green light abstract projects like this. These filmmakers know they're being polarizing and that refusal to compromise is admirable to me. With that said, I loved it. I might be the only one (in the galaxy).
