High-Rise is based on J.G. Ballard’s 1975 novel whose main plot elements are preserved in the film. However, director Ben Wheatley’s visualization of the dystopian world in which Dr. Laing exists shifts the focus of attention from the critical deconstruction of its nature to the largely meaningless mechanics of his struggles to preserve his sanity and the trivial actions of the people around him. The end result is a somewhat stylish but disappointingly disorganized film that does not do justice to the novel.
