'High Art' is masterful … so perceptive and mature it makes similar films seem flippant.

NO LONGER PLAYING

High Art

At 24, Syd (Radha Mitchell) has landed what seems to be a dream job, but she's still stuck fetching coffee, until chance meeting with her upstairs neighbor, Lucy Berliner (Ally Sheedy). Lucy, a once-celebrated photographer, lives an enthralling life with her drug-addicted German girlfriend, (Patricia Clarkson), that draws Syd in. Before she can catch her breath, Syd discovers dark truths of life on the edge, is forced to confront the price of her hunger for recognition and public esteem.

"Twenty-two years later,
High Art…resonates simultaneously as a timeless meditation on love, loss and art and as a trenchant drama with distinctive roots in 1990s aesthetics, culture and social issues." – Aviva Dove-Viebahn, Ms. Magazine
