The reactions coming out of #TIFF18 about #HighLife are saying it's disturbing, uncomfortable and has people walking out midway.— MovieGainz (@MovieGainz) September 10, 2018

We're staying away from reviews and many tweets because it seems you need to see High Life as pure as possible. I already saw one thing I wish I didn't so I'm being careful. DO NOT click on any links in this post if you want to be safe.
The film was quite divisive but aren't we used to Rob picking challenging projects? We roll with it and enjoy his arty artistry. Here are some tweets that are spoiler-free and supportive. Looks like it's gonna be a wild ride!
So HIGH LIFE is major and that’s all I’m going to say because you need to go into this blind #TIFF18— πππ£π£ππ (@goodjobliz) September 11, 2018
Claire Denis prefaces HIGH LIFE as a sci-fi drama, but it’s truly a study on humanity when dealing with isolation, desire, violence, and relationships. Truly a magnetic piece of cinema #TIFF18— Warren Kang (@warjkang) September 11, 2018
People were scandalized by HIGH LIFE? I thought it was truly beautiful. A masterpiece, even. I’m blown away. #TIFF18— Jesse Taylor @ TIFF (@jesssetaylor) September 11, 2018
High Life: Claire Denis does sci-fi, results are as confounding as you expect. Feels too long, but parts are interesting, and Robert Pattinson continues to prove himself as one of our most intriguing actors. It's polarizing, but didn't hate it, didn't love it. It's fine? #TIFF18— John Corrado at #TIFF18 π¨π¦ (@1Movie5Views) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE (Denis): It takes roughly one shot of this film to know you’re in the hands of a master; maybe 30 minutes to realize you’re watching a landmark movie; and the remainder to confirm you’ve experienced a visionary piece of cinema. #TIFF18— Jordan Cronk (@JordanCronk) September 11, 2018
#TIFF18 HIGH LIFE: I have no idea what I just watched. Just that I loved it. And holy fuck.— Dr Shelagh Rowan-Legg (@bonnequin) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE is a gloriously cinematic, peculiar, visceral, overwhelming experience. A sci fi with ideas and something to say. I loved it #TIFF18— Nellie Thornley (@nellienorus) September 11, 2018
Pattinson doing the most this year just to let Hedges and Chamelet know who the real King is #HighLife #TIFF2018 https://t.co/N0dSFILgac pic.twitter.com/RBtawuRc0J— Carl Broughton II (@Carlislegendary) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE is... wild! And of course engrossing and challenging and rewarding as hell. REWARDING: listening to Claire and Cameron speak after the film, so many ellipses brought into clearer focus. And in Claire’s thoughtful responses, a fundamental grounding in humanist intent.— Barry Jenkins (@BarryJenkins) September 11, 2018
MORE under the cut!
HIGH LIFE: Seems cruel to process this immediately after only one viewing, but it feels like it's on the right side of genius. 2001 meets Solaris meets Trouble Every Day meets my mind melting. The large contingent of walk-outs should reconsider why they watch films at all #TIFF18— Barry Hertz (@HertzBarry) September 11, 2018
Update on HIGH LIFE: couldn’t stop thinking about it so went back tonight to catch the last 15 minutes that I missed. It’s such a finely calibrated mindf*ck. Claire Denis is a master. #TIFF18— Matt Delman (@ItsTheRealDel) September 11, 2018
I think High Life is the most abstractly beautiful film I've ever seen about cruelty, tenderness and parenthood (but in an hour I might decide it's about something else).— Carly (@brunchproblems) September 11, 2018
LMFAOOOO CRITICS ARE WEAK AS FUCK. HIGH LIFE WAS SO GOOD FUCK ANYONE WHO WALKED OUT— em is @ tiff π¨π¦π (@aytwentyfour) September 11, 2018
Last one, movie #14: HIGH LIFE. Holyyy smokes. The goddess Claire Denis, one of our finest filmmakers, giving us weird existential sci-fi we need. Robert Pattinson is an exceptional actor, and this performance proves it. Juliette Binoche doing her best evil scientist too. #TIFF18— Michelle @ TIFF (@michelledeidre) September 11, 2018
I detested Robert Pattinson in the Twilight Saga, but now I can't miss any movie he's in. https://t.co/RFvQT07pqa— Ntsika Maki (@eitabro) September 10, 2018
Claire Denis: “[Robert Pattinson] is so much more than good looking. Although that matters.”— Angelo Muredda (@amuredda) September 11, 2018
[Crowd laughs]
“No its true.” #TIFF18
HIGH LIFE was a great film & one of roberts best performances imo. there were a couple of disturbing and graphic scenes but tbh i dont really understand the mass walkout it had. its the kind of film you could dissect for hours and still find something new to talk about. loved it.— em is @ tiff π¨π¦π (@aytwentyfour) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE is a melodramatic, stunning piece of science fiction. Nothing about it is shocking or distasteful, which I had been lead to believe. It deals with isolation and love, in the vast, lonely void of space. #TIFF18— ron @ tiff (@danieldayslewis) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE is an absolute masterpiece. Shame on the people who lied about the content of this film. It’s much more tamer than you think it is. Claire Denis has made a film to stand the test of time. #HighLife #TIFF18— Jack (@JackCox) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE (Denis): Closest to TROUBLE EVERY DAY as an explicit genre play on the down-and-dirty basics of life, death and bodily fluids, though significantly more inscrutable. Don't ask me to break it down, but I sure loved watching it. #TIFF18— Scott Tobias (@scott_tobias) September 11, 2018
HIGH LIFE is an absolute must see movie from Claire Denis #TIFF2018 @JulietteBinoche in an out of this world performance. Fascinating cast, including Robert Pattinson (yes, that one) and Mia Goth. pic.twitter.com/DEeKhy8szk— (((Rπrπ»n_St☠️hl)))¯\_(γ)_/¯ (@Roran_Stehl) September 10, 2018
High Life has me feeling some type of way. Not sure if I loved it but I definitely am fascinated by it. #TIFF18— Nicholas Olsen (@ChiefcoOne) September 11, 2018
Not sure why HIGH LIFE has been deemed “shocking”. It strikes me as a wholly logical view of how humans would act and react once dispatched into a void. Claire Denis’ dreams and science mesh wonderfully. #tiff18— Bob Turnbull (@TheLogicalMind) September 11, 2018
"#highlife is one of the most beautiful films by Claire Denis. Crazy and taboo, with a lot of edgy Robert Pattinson moments." https://t.co/yTdxYEPr63— Pattinson Art Work (@Pattinson_AW) September 11, 2018
Robert Pattinson’s post-Twilight career is one smart choice after another. Good Time was astonishingly good, and now this. https://t.co/gLwpqBNPNa— Justin Trefgarne (@handheldcamera) September 11, 2018
★★★★ "Denis isn’t interested in answering any questions, or even posing them, really. Which makes HIGH LIFE even more compelling, mysterious, uncompromising, strangely fetishistic, and enjoyable." Kudos to @ALPProd for a twosome TIFF re-entry https://t.co/ZjZVIzPsIl— IONCINEMA (@ioncinema) September 11, 2018
#HighLife asks down-and-dirty questions about what really resides beneath thousands of years of human progress, a savage and haunting antidote to the high-minded idealism of movies like Interstellar and The Martian. Read @exhavsterated's review. #TIFF18 https://t.co/Vw6seL8DJC— Slant (@Slant_Magazine) September 11, 2018
"But "High Life" can’t be separated from Pattinson’s omnipresent performance & he seems perfectly attuned to the uncanny demands of Denis & Jean-Pol Fargeau’s challenging script, which is so precise, almost deterministic in its details, yet so elusive in overall effect"*Spoilers* https://t.co/ElQzXAfvrU— Pattinson Art Work (@Pattinson_AW) September 10, 2018
The Playlist review: "(...) this, by the way, is yet another scorching Pattinson performance; he plays the character’s menace and rebellion with brio, but look at his face the first time he sees the baby" https://t.co/LvpjBOH2VB— Pattinson Art Work (@Pattinson_AW) September 10, 2018
High Life review – orgasmic brilliance in deepest space with Robert Pattinson https://t.co/2KXyj8tKAR— Guardian Film (@guardianfilm) September 10, 2018
If you liked Under the Skin, you're probably going to love High Life. Probably.— Alex Billington (@firstshowing) September 10, 2018
#HighLife #TIFF2018 shocking. Uncomfortable. Revealing. Lonely. A fantastic and disturbing look at humanity, the isolation of space, and the two together. People walked out but I highly recommend. It’s harsh, cruel, and strangely beautiful.— Nathalie Holroyd (@nathalieholroyd) September 10, 2018
I don't understand why people walked out, I thought the movie was great. Very different and it wasn't uncomfortable. That's my opinion! Pattinson performance was fantastic.#HighLife #TIFF18— .. (@GomezCollinsFan) September 10, 2018
Thanks to PAW for doing the dirty work!There is so much happening in HIGH LIFE but it has some of the best visual storytelling I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to watch but impossible to look away. Rob Pattinson said “y’all didn’t wanna nominate me for Good Time? Watch this”— Denny (@DeniseeeMarieee) September 10, 2018
