After three attempts, I finally managed to watch High Rise all the way through. However, I can't say that I enjoyed it or found its intended points particularly interesting. The first half was generally better, but the sudden descent into barbarism in the second half felt less convincing and left me frustrated due to the lack of context for the events in the building. Perhaps if it had been directed by Paul King (known for The Mighty Boosh, Bunny and the Bull, Paddington 1 & 2), it could have resulted in a more balanced film. Nonetheless, considering the heavy-handed source material he had to work with, Ben Wheatley did as good a job as anyone could have done. Throughout watching High Rise, I couldn't help but think of Jeunet and Carot's Delicatessen; however, while Delicatessen has an undercurrent of humor and glimpses of humanity's better side, High Rise remains angry and dark at its core. Finally crossed off my to-be-watched pile!
