Reviews

The Guardian - Charles Bramesco
With an achievement of this calibre it’s hard to resist hyperbole: High Life contains the single greatest one-person sex scene in the history of cinema.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Barry Hertz
By twisting around preconceptions of what an outer-space epic should be, French auteur Claire Denis returns to the fertile ground of her Trouble Every Day era, using genre to dig beneath themes that others would only treat as skin-deep.
100
The Film Stage - Unnamed
The crew’s suffering is bleak and oppressive, but Denis invites us to witness it so that we truly understand the power of Monte’s conviction in his improvised mission...and Denis is so emotionally in tune with what that might feel like it becomes overwhelming.
91
IndieWire - David Ehrlich
High Life is fixated on the hypnotic rhythms of oblivion, and the human desires it brings to the surface.
88
Slant Magazine - Steve Macfarlane
The film asks down-and-dirty questions about what really resides beneath thousands of years of human progress, a savage and haunting antidote to the high-minded idealism of movies like Christopher Nolan's Interstellar and Ridley Scott's The Martian.
