Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1/5 --
In High-Rise the fitfully brilliant Briton Ben Wheatley, with writing partner Amy Jump, seizes what seems a perfect-fitting text -- JG Ballard's dystopian novel High-Rise -- and makes an omnishambles of it.

Financial Times
3 stars out of 4 -- Wheatley puts his visuals into overdrive and stuns our senses. Just try to turn away.
Rolling Stone
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.
Empire
It's funny, it's enjoyable, but it really starts to feel its length at times...turns into a bit of a mess for a little while, before picking it back up at the end...

Rating: 2/10 --
It's all style and no substance. And its style isn't particularly impressive to begin with, either.

Wicked Horror
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] Brit-film of singular vision, blackened wit and dog-toasting audacity, cooked with such brio that its flaws seem like acceptable casualties.
Total Film
Darkly comic and no less terrifying for it, Amy Jump's adaptation of JG Ballard's High-Rise is timely for the British political landscape.

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.
