Summary: Disturbingly good
Comment: Dark story of the end of the life of a reclusive, once-popular photographer (Sheedy). Great acting all around by the key players. Supporting cast could have been better, especially by the druggie friends, Ally Sheedy is definetly not the hottie from Short Circuit, weighing in at maybe 90 lbs for this role, but none-the-less a strong performance.

Summary: Potentially a great film-anticlimactic
Comment: I had not seen this film, when it was released, but always heard of it. I finally had a chance to view it. Although the characters certainly have a palpable attraction, and the storyline is tragic, not much stands out in this film for me. The tragedy of Lucy's character's failing to grasp herself before she succumbs to her own weakness for the life she's known for the last few years, is probably the most rattling aspect of this film. As for the chemistry between the characters throughout the film, and the sexual scenes, they were a bit contrived. As a lesbian myself, I was disappointed that they were not more believable, as there are not many films that capture true attraction emotionally and physically, effectively, as it is. The art theme was sexy, and indicative, how much Lucy could capture in life, while losing herself. The end was anticlimactic for me, and it seemed a bit abrupt. Despite the fact that I am giving it 3 stars, I'd give it a rent for historical context.

Summary: Subtitles not to switch off
Comment: Before I learned that there exist codefree DVD-Players, I was looking for a version of High Art, running in Europe, without the disturbingly bright german subtitles, which one can't switch off! I thought to have found it in this item, as it is said to code Region 2. The german pro-fun-media DVD is code-free (code 0). What I received was exactly the german product, which I wanted to change. Do I have to read every line of the product information to make sure the Region 2 code is correct? It reminds me of contracts with traps in tiny letters . The seller didn't take back the product nor refunded.

Summary: lacking in development
Comment: This film had great potential but really lacked in the real life situations that one would expect from this kind of film. For the most part I found this film less than entertaining, fair acting, and romance scenes were dull at best. It would have been great with better nudes by Radah and higher intensity scenes of romance between the two women.
