1. • • High-Rise may not be the greatest Ballard adaptation ever made, but it doesn't have to be: it stands on its own as a masterclass of the substance of style, and how stories told long ago can have often eerie, direct parallels in the future.

   Is high-rise a good movie?

   • Much like the previous Ballard film adaptation Crash (the 1996 David Cronenberg movie about erotic car accidents, not the regrettable 2004 Oscar-winner), High-Rise is a chilly, alienating movie, about people whose choices make more sense as metaphor than as actual human behavior.

   What is the movie 'High-Rise' about?

   • The movie 'High-Rise' captures the excitement of that sleek, new way of living portrayed in the film. However, it also takes malicious delight in its destruction. This film is both beautiful and grubby; it bathes your eyes with its visuals but leaves a 'sticky residue' in its narrative.

   Is high rise based on a true story?

   • High-Rise is an intriguing movie, not based on the normal plot or character constructs of a regular film. I, unlike many who watched the movie, am not going to give this a five-star rating simply because of Hiddleston's presence in the cast. Hiddleston's performance, however, was simple and honest.

   Apr 28, 2016 · The retro cars, suits, and architecture all put High-Rise more in a quaint, remote past than a dystopian future. They also add to the sense of otherworldliness that hangs over the film.
