Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- Wheatley puts his visuals into overdrive and stuns our senses. Just try to turn away.
Rolling Stone
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Wheatley is a smart, resourceful filmmaker who knows how to modulate his imagery.

Rating: 3/5 --
Visually dazzling and happily anarchic, High-Rise towers over all of Wheatley's films to date.

Dog and Wolf
[I]t’s the glorious spectacle of this prime real estate being trashed and torched that burns itself into the viewer's brain.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3.5/5 --
However weird and violent it may be, High-Rise is nonetheless a creative piece of filmmaking.

Flick Feast
Rating: 3/5 --
Despite the second act descending messily into chaos, High-Rise is worth viewing for the cast and the film's offbeat caustic humour and all-round peculiarity - experimental is the word.

One Room With A View
4 stars out of 5 -- While J.G. Ballard is seven years gone, and the source for this film 40 years old, it still feels alarmingly now. The future he imagined in the 1970s, with its affluenza and anger, couldn’t feel more relevant today.

Product Description:
Well-to-do doctor Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) moves into the 25th floor of an experimental high-rise apartment complex on the outskirts of London in 1975, attracted by the upper-class lifestyle promoted by its architect (Jeremy Irons). The building is secluded from the outside world and functions as its own autonomous community; in addition, it's organized by a rigid caste system, with the least wealthy residents situated on the lower floors. Laing befriends a documentary filmmaker (Luke Evans) who lives on the second floor, and soon becomes aware of the social inequities within the complex. As tensions between the tenants boil over, an all-out war erupts that divides the classes into violent tribes vying for the top floors. Ben Wheatley directed this wildly imaginative and chaotic adaptation of J.G. Ballard's 1975 novel, with Amy Jump serving as screenwriter. HIGH-RISE premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.
