High Life

This is a really disappointing effort from all concerned. It is unnecessarily abstruse and manages, quite successfully, to suck any joy or interest from the project more efficiently than any black hole could ever do. This is totally devoid of any realistic or palpable sense of emotion at all, as we watch former prisoner "Monte" (Robert Pattinson) and his daughter "Willow" (Jessie Ross) come to terms with isolation of an increasingly visceral existence in outer space. The acting and the writing are the stuff of a college project - even the spacesuits have more charisma, and it really does drag. Sorry, though it does look good at times, this is simply underwhelming.
