| El Mundo (Spain)Luis MartínezBen Whetley transforms J.G. Ballard into a prphet of our times with this monumental and disturbing film. [Full review in Spanish] |
| CinemaBlendGregory WakemanA tour-de-force of visceral imagery and subtext, High-Rise is pulverizing, powerful, and brazenly idiosyncratic, in a style that's gloriously rare, especially for modern cinema. |
| Buffalo NewsChristopher SchobertHigh-Rise is not a backward-facing period piece, nor a glimpse into the future; it is a sobering look into a recognizable present, and that's what makes the film a worthy adaptation of a literary master. |

| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThis dystopian, apocalyptic tale of the downfall of civilization is set in a high rise apartment building. This can be viewed as a very dark comedy about how quickly society can break down, and how much fun that could be. |
