High-Rise
High-Rise
is a new drama
apparently set in the
1970s where a doctor,
Laing (Tom
Hiddleston), moves
into a high-rise
apartment complex with
a very rigid social
structure, to which he
starts at the bottom.
He moves in above
Charlotte (Sienna
Miller) and her son
and she immediately
takes a liking to him
and they begin an
affair. She also seems
to know everyone in
the complex. Soon
Laing meets the other
tenants like
documentary filmmaker
Wilder (Luke Evans)
and his pregnant wife
Helen (Elisabeth
Moss), well-known and
very vain actress Jane
(Sienna Guillory) and
the owners of the
building who live on
the top floor, Royal
(Jeremy Irons) and his
wife Ann (Keeley
Hawes). Things seem
fine in the complex,
although nobody seems
to remember where they
parked in the
confusing car park,
and Royal and his
underlings are setting
certain restrictions
on the place. After a
children's party gets
wildly out of hand,
Royal, through his
underlings, shuts off
everything in the
building and
everything goes to
shit very quickly. Not
only does the power
and water go, but the
supermarket in the
building runs out of
supplies and everyone
reverts to their base
instincts to survive.
If only they could
leave the complex...
Very "out there" movie
that is one part
fascinating, one part
frustrating, but it
intrigued me to the
end. Plus I do love a
society falling apart
story, so High-Rise is
well worth watching
for that reason alone
and I also liked the
director's previous
movies Kill List and
Sightseers. But a
number of things are
not explained all that
well, so I kept
wondering why nobody
could just leave in
the troubled time when
they seemed to be able
to before. Also,
people seemed to exist
well enough without
food and water. One
strange movie...
