Goofs

At one point there's a car right outside the building with a clearly made-up number plate. Something like DAE 080X. The leading zero is incorrect, X is 1981 (the film is set in the 1970s) and the number plate font is the newer post-2001 one. A shame as the effort to amass all the cars must have been huge.

"Why don't the inhabitants just leave the high-rise?"
13 October 2015 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Wheatley's High-Rise has received a fascinating range of reviews from dross to genius and somewhere in-between - so something must be going on here to cause quite such a reaction. In most ways it's entirely faithful to the book. A book replete with dark humour and above all a unique understanding and vision of human beings. The entire movie, like the book, revolves around one crucial point, as things go profoundly awry why don't the inhabitants just leave the high-rise? Once you understand that this story may not be dystopian at all but actually about a kind of utopia then what some reviewers have called a mess becomes clear. Utopia may turn out to very different from the adverts.
