High-Rise
To borrow a cliché, watching High-Rise is like witnessing a slow-motion train wreck: It’s unpleasant, incomprehensible, yet oddly mesmerizing. Tom Hiddleston plays a 1970s doctor who moves into a state-of-the-art high-rise apartment building and gets entangled when the tenants – upper-crust Brits on the top floors, poorer Brits on the lower floors – engage in class warfare that turns violent. I enjoyed this train wreck. But I’m not sure I’d want to watch it again. Release: 2015 Grade: B
