Kambole Campbell One Room With A View 08/25/2018
2/5
High Fantasy has a great concept, but it's unfortunately poorly executed and often exhausting. It's frustrating to see a film this inventive and this willing to dive into these arguments lose itself along the way. Go to Full Review Adam Nayman Cinema Scope 09/28/2017
High Fantasy is an inventive and entertaining South African feature that cleverly yokes heavy subject matter to an agile DIY aesthetic. Go to Full Review Nella Fitzgerald Shadow and Act 09/21/2017
High Fantasy's unassuming, yet piercing examination of race, class and gender embeds Bass firmly in the pantheon of an exciting new wave of South African filmmaking characterized by introspective directors who are digging deep. Go to Full Review Megan Purdy Ms En Scene 02/07/2020

4/5

3/5
