Fantastic Fest: High-Rise (2015)

Okay, let it be known, I am officially not a Ben Wheatley fan.  That's a sacrilege statement around Fantastic Fest.  Everybody loves his films.  Well, I've seen all his films and try giving him a chance but they're just not for me.  I respect his work and his ideas but that's it.  So this movie was hyped up by a lot of Fantastic Fest people but it just didn't do it for me.  I mean it was made good and it was good in some moments but overall it was just okay.  It's a social commentary movie.  A lot of crazy things happen but not chaotic or anything.  Loki is on here.  Tom Hiddleston plays the main character and does very good.  Too much hype ruined the movie for me.  I hope to be more open with other hyped up movies I expect to see.  Well, there is only one really very big hyped up movie I'll get a chance to see tomorrow.
