Twenty-two years later, High Art (1998) … 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

Reviews

High Art is masterful … so perceptive and mature it makes similar films seem flippant. The performances are on just the right note, scene after scene, for what needs to be done.
– Rogert Ebert, RogerEbert.com

An intricate meditation on the nature of love, careerism and self-sacrifice
– Emanuel Levy, Variety

A stirring of pure, uncut desire … Cholodenko shows a dramatic grasp of the ways that romantic sexual yearning can get all jumbled up with ambition and addiction.
– Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
