Although the theme of the film is interesting, it was generally unsuccessful. It is eager to complete a social criticism, but it has not reached a higher height. The director’s destructive tendencies are not only preserved in the film, but also stronger than ever. He indulges in creating an atmosphere of escalating chaos in the building, instead of letting the film use a more inspiring way to accuse unfair income or economics. Policy mistakes. In general, although the film is good-looking, well-made, and atmospheric, it is like a building: a confident interior designer takes an architect's blueprint and constructs it into a three-dimensional object.  
The film performs well in aesthetics, but this does not mean that the form is greater than the content. The chronology of the entire film is in the mid-1970s, but the costumes and sets deliberately show a sense of discrepancy.

    No.61 The form is more serious than the content, and Dousen's acting skills are also worrying.

    Whateley wanted to create his own audiovisual aesthetic in editing and cinematography, but that didn't work for this film, at least. In addition to connecting the collapsed states of different "levels" in several bridge segments and extracting an open interpretation, the fast editing and the photography with tricky camera positions only have an exaggerated and empty tension in the rest of the time. This complex web of "social hierarchy" woven in this "Fauvist" high-rise building loses its sense of condensedness due to the number of characters and the complexity of viewpoints, which makes Laing's doctor's role seem to be in a pile of mass graves Stagnate and flow at will. And so the “Thatcher” speech on the closing radio — Thatcher’s eulogy of capitalism in the 1970s (and a manifesto for the Conservative Party presidency) — seemed like an antidote to the film’s “class” predicament, But like the whole film, it has become a thin symbol of self-talk. Also Hiddleston has a too handsome skin that doesn't fit the movie, but doesn't feel any restrained emotion, like the rest of the film's overly hollow and pompous aesthetic.

High-Rise quotes

  • Laing: [on the building] Prone to bouts of mania, narcissism and power failure.

  • Ann: [laughing after Royal has hit her] That's the first time he's touched me in over six months!
