High Life - Reviews

...a kaleidoscopic experience, more so than a traditional story.

...if you stick with it, Denis’ first English-language film reaches the parts phasers and warp speed can’t reach.

...an Old Testament parable catapulted forward into the 23rd century, a primal scene in a pressurised cabin of sci-fi pessimism, suppressed horror and denied panic.

Denis has turned her sights on sci-fi, reconfiguring its familiar components to create a startlingly fresh engagement with the question of what it means to be human (...) she brings something truly original to the conversation.

Claire Denis' erotically apocalyptic space odyssey owes more to Paul Schrader and "Solaris" than it does to "Star Wars" and "Sunshine."

All I can say is that it’s a pleasure to have my reviewing faculties blown and my psyche splintered by this master filmmaker.

...är köttig och organisk scifi-existentialism, med upphackade tidslinjer, skrämmande sex och rejäla doser mänskligt lidande.

...en värstingresa i rymden.

Nok er de udskud, men Claire Denis har samlet Hollywoods mest interessante og smukkeste ensemble af skuespillere til at spille dem. Alle formår de at vække ens nysgerrighed og gru.

High Life' er et stringent, uberegneligt værk...

...kommer att platta till din tidsuppfattning och sträcka ut dina sinnesintryck.

Den kittlar både intellektet och mina mer spirituella sidor, bjuder på hisnande vackra bilder och väjer varken för det obekväma eller groteska.

...en rymdsaga som undflyr all kategorisering.
