Film Sales F Great Arthouse film, loved the vibe and character driven drama with these two would be college grads. Typical life issues one would face growing up with ambition and little cash in the big city. Would watch again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Ralph P Easily one of those rare indie gems that sticks with you long after the credits roll. The film dives deep into friendship and ambition, capturing the struggle to balance big dreams with harsh reality. The performances feel raw and grounded, especially between the two leads, who bring a natural chemistry to their characters' complex bond. The dialogue is sharp and authentic, pulling you into their world without any Hollywood gloss. Visually, it’s stunning in its simplicity; every shot feels purposeful, enhancing the story’s gritty vibe. What I loved most is how it doesn’t glorify the “heist” but instead examines the tough choices these characters face. If you're into films that ask big questions and embrace the messy side of life, High Heist is a must-watch. It’s thoughtful, understated, and perfectly captures that indie feel of tackling heavy themes without losing its soul. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Jeff T This film is a rare example where a compelling story and sharp dialogue surpass typical Hollywood production values. In a genuine, natural style, it captures a group of relatable, semi-adult slackers navigating the capitalist challenge of “success at the cost of your soul.” This theme is explored from multiple existential perspectives, sparking deep questions about meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. The characters’ shifting fortunes mirror my own post-college experiences, where my friends and I had wildly different definitions of success—from thriving in tech to abandoning modern life altogether, with a fair dose of rebellion and experimentation along the way. This beautifully crafted morality play took me back to those angsty yet vibrant years. The film’s open-ended, slice-of-life conclusion left me with a renewed appreciation for screenwriting that values literary depth and thoughtful ambiguity.
