- Critics' reviews
-
-
"So perceptive and mature it makes similar films seem flippant"
-
"An interesting debut for its nuanced sense of character and its terrific sex scenes"
-
"'High Art' is, unfortunately, full of itself and its artistic pretensions"
-
"Compassionate and deft as Cholodenko's helming is, pic's overall impact largely depends on its central triangle"
-
"Though 'High Art' has more than a few awkward touches--all the male characters take up less than one dimension, for example--it's otherwise a nicely underplayed, memorable, beautifully filmed movie."
