Ben Wheatley's "High-Rise" is remarkably Kubrickian and wonderfully chaotic. It has style for days, great performances, and good social commentary. It kind of gets lost in itself, but it's quite beautiful.

This movie is nuts and I didn't buy everything that happened. Not all of its points are driven home like it intends them to be and it rambles unconvincingly for a while after the half (no idea what the end meant other than representing theThis movie is nuts and I didn't buy everything that happened. Not all of its points are driven home like it intends them to be and it rambles unconvincingly for a while after the half (no idea what the end meant other than representing the sick masculine dream of what constitutes "winning").
