The reactions coming out of #TIFF18 about #HighLife are saying it's disturbing, uncomfortable and has people walking out midway.— MovieGainz (@MovieGainz) September 10, 2018

We're staying away from reviews and many tweets because it seems you need to see High Life as pure as possible. I already saw one thing I wish I didn't so I'm being careful. DO NOT click on any links in this post if you want to be safe.
The film was quite divisive but aren't we used to Rob picking challenging projects? We roll with it and enjoy his arty artistry. Here are some tweets that are spoiler-free and supportive. Looks like it's gonna be a wild ride!
So HIGH LIFE is major and that’s all I’m going to say because you need to go into this blind #TIFF18— 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖𝙝 (@goodjobliz) September 11, 2018
Claire Denis prefaces HIGH LIFE as a sci-fi drama, but it’s truly a study on humanity when dealing with isolation, desire, violence, and relationships. Truly a magnetic piece of cinema #TIFF18— Warren Kang (@warjkang) September 11, 2018
People were scandalized by HIGH LIFE? I thought it was truly beautiful. A masterpiece, even. I’m blown away. #TIFF18— Jesse Taylor @ TIFF (@jesssetaylor) September 11, 2018
High Life: Claire Denis does sci-fi, results are as confounding as you expect. Feels too long, but parts are interesting, and Robert Pattinson continues to prove himself as one of our most intriguing actors. It's polarizing, but didn't hate it, didn't love it. It's fine? #TIFF18— John Corrado at #TIFF18 🇨🇦 (@1Movie5Views) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE (Denis): It takes roughly one shot of this film to know you’re in the hands of a master; maybe 30 minutes to realize you’re watching a landmark movie; and the remainder to confirm you’ve experienced a visionary piece of cinema. #TIFF18— Jordan Cronk (@JordanCronk) September 11, 2018
#TIFF18 HIGH LIFE: I have no idea what I just watched. Just that I loved it. And holy fuck.— Dr Shelagh Rowan-Legg (@bonnequin) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE is a gloriously cinematic, peculiar, visceral, overwhelming experience. A sci fi with ideas and something to say. I loved it #TIFF18— Nellie Thornley (@nellienorus) September 11, 2018
Pattinson doing the most this year just to let Hedges and Chamelet know who the real King is #HighLife #TIFF2018 https://t.co/N0dSFILgac pic.twitter.com/RBtawuRc0J— Carl Broughton II (@Carlislegendary) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE is... wild! And of course engrossing and challenging and rewarding as hell. REWARDING: listening to Claire and Cameron speak after the film, so many ellipses brought into clearer focus. And in Claire’s thoughtful responses, a fundamental grounding in humanist intent.— Barry Jenkins (@BarryJenkins) September 11, 2018
