High Rollers is a heart-slowing work of staggering stupidity and charmlessness, ineptly made and quite frankly dull except when its flaws become so egregious you can't help but guffaw.

The film is a professional piece of work but ultimately feels soulless, like it was generated by AI using familiar action-adventure tropes and beats.

I'm grateful to be here and this film has made me realize that I can turn pain into art.

"Ari Aster's smart but frustrating satire looks back at the pandemic with a misanthropic lens, recasting hopeful aspirations as infantile and naive while identifying Covid as the genesis of our current nightmare."
