Movie Reviews of High Art
Movie Review: EXCELLENT !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film catches Ally Sheedy at her Best. She is so Brilliant as Lucy. The role just seemed to fit Ally perfectly. Radha Mitchell is so young and vibrant playing opposite her. A very wise choice of cast to play off of each other so easily. Cinematically speaking the entire film was just full of visual treats for the artistic mind to enjoy. Ally Sheedy is such a Professional and Natural Performer. She was born to play this role. I just wish she was more involved with either the Independent or even Mainstream Film industries, so that we can enjoy more of her Great Acting abilities...I would recommend this movie to anyone and everyone who loves a "One-of-a-Kind" performance..
Summary of High Art
A young woman falls in love with her neighbor a lesbian with a heroin-addicted girlfriend. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Ally Sheedy Patricia Clarkson Run time: 103 minutes Rating: R Director: Lisa CholodenkoSyd (Radha Mitchell) is an editor at a painfully pretentious art magazine; by chance, she becomes acquainted with lesbian photographer Lucy (Ally Sheedy) and her weirdo German girlfriend (Patricia Clarkson, in a strange Dietrich-like role). Syd becomes captivated with Lucy and her work and, smelling a career move, offers to feature her in the next issue of the magazine. The two become attracted, but their relationship is fraught with perils--Syd loses her rather square boyfriend, Lucy's girlfriend takes a hike, the avaricious management at the magazine pressures Syd, and, most importantly, the pair begins to travel down the road of heroin addiction. Besides the lesbian theme, High Art addresses such subtexts as what an artist will (or won't) be willing to do for recognition, and what price that recognition carries. High Art is a remarkably honest work, painful at times but understated and thoughtful. It does an excellent job of portraying the heroin-induced torpor of Lucy and her bohemian friends as they lie around and become consumed with the stuff. It's a cautionary tale, a sincere love story, a reflection on the nature of art, and a "lesbian film" for which the lesbianism is integral but not part of an overriding agenda. Sheedy is excellent, as is Mitchell in a very expressive role. It's far from being a feel-good movie, but High Art undeniably has some power behind it that will stick with you past the closing credits. --Jerry Renshaw
