neutral · AI labelView post →Denzel Washington in Spike Lee’s ‘HIGHEST 2 LOWEST’, their first film together in 19 years. The film follows a legendary music mogul whose empire is shaken when he’s forced to make a moral choice that will change everything.

neutral · AI labelView post →I interviewed Denzel Washington about his new movie Highest 2 Lowest! When I brought up AI, he talked about his deepfakes and said "I'm 70 years old, but I pray for your generation." Lol.
neutral · AI labelView post →Spike Lee’s HIGHEST 2 LOWEST is both a wildly fun crime thriller and an incisive metaphor for how the director and his star Denzel Washington continue to creatively move through the industry. I love it. My #cannes2025 review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

neutral · AI labelView post →I am watching "Highest 2 Lowest." There are a lot of issues with this movie, but the idea of a major music executive with a legendary ear using Beats headphones for his personal listening fully stopped me in my tracks.
negative · AI labelView post →I’m at the Gene Siskel Film Center to rewatch HIGHEST 2 LOWEST. It’s sold out.
neutral · AI labelView post →Denzel Washington tells us about returning to New York to film his latest movie ‘HIGHEST 2 LOWEST’: “I’ve been on both sides of it, you know, sometimes you the one who’s money I wanted, sometimes I was the one whose money somebody else wanted. It was interesting just being back”
neutral · AI labelView post →"I really wanted to get out there that this is not a remake. It’s more than that. At the same time, respecting the source, the book, and the film." Spike Lee talks to Rolling Stone about #Highest2Lowest ⬇️
neutral · AI labelView post →My review of Spike Lee's HIGHEST 2 LOWEST is back on the homepage of @ebertvoices.bsky.social. I LOVED it out of Cannes.
positive · AI labelView post →Denzel Washington made a quick trip to the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of director Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest.” A surprise was waiting for the actor.
neutral · AI labelView post →Two interviews for the i this week. (1) Spoke to Spike Lee about Highest 2 Lowest, Do the Right Thing, Trump's erasure of black history, why he hates AI in film-making, and learning to pick his battles inews.co.uk/culture/film...
neutral · AI labelView post →Spike Lee does Akira Kurosawa via New York City. The stakes are not quite as high as the original film that inspired it, but not bad. Not bad. @sonnybunch.bsky.social reviews "Highest 2 Lowest": www.thebulwark.com/p/highest-2-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Since significantly more people have now seen Spike Lee’s HIGHEST 2 LOWEST, here’s my discussion with Odie Henderson about the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kind of obsessed with how Spike and Matthew Libatique work Super 8 and Super 16 film into HIGHEST 2 LOWEST. It never feels like a stunt, just an organic way to add texture to the film and it looks incredible on a big screen. Just god tier technical work all around.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching HIGHEST 2 LOWEST and all of a sudden Rosie Perez from DO THE RIGHT THING shows up playing herself, which I guess means Spike Lee exists in the Spike Lee cinematic universe. Does this mean that in the universe of HIGHEST 2 LOWEST, Spike Lee has already made a movie about the events we see
neutral · AI labelView post →"Unabashedly epic, fearlessly funny, and proudly Black, Highest 2 Lowest might derive from a Japanese filmmaker. But its soul clearly resides in Spike Lee." -- @812filmreviews.com www.rogerebert.com/reviews/high...
neutral · AI labelView post →Butch & Sundance - RIP Redford Police Story - THE most 80s movie ever. Highest 2 Lowest - Not a single thing is good. Nothing. Se7en - Awesome every time. #LastFourWatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky
negative · AI labelView post →Well, I absolutely loved Highest 2 Lowest. Easily the best film I have seen at the cinema since January. Perhaps best film since He Got Game. A thrilling mix of moral conundrum, filmmaking style, and political conservatism. It looks great and comes with a traditionally insisent Spike Lee soundtrack.
positive · AI labelView post →Spike Lee and Denzel Washington reunite in the first teaser trailer for Highest 2 Lowest.
neutral · AI labelView post →It makes me happy to hear Highest 2 Lowest is getting good reviews, despite my misgivings about remaking a Kurosawa film and some extremely dubious things Spike Lee has done (shilling for crypto! Buying and being a mark for the cybertruck!). I want to believe he can still make a good movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Spike Lee: ‘I don’t know how we can talk about American values considering who the president is’ The director presented ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ at the Cannes Film Festival. Starring Denzel Washington, it’s a vibrant retelling of Akira Kurosawa’s classic ‘High and Low’ english.elpais.com/culture/2025...

Jordan, Denzel Washington & A$AP Rocky, why Coogler got so many rejections from studios before Warner Bros took on his film, and how Spike Lee's career started. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYMe...
neutral · AI labelView post →I believe HIGHEST 2 LOWEST is the first Denzel film to play Cannes since MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
neutral · AI labelView post →Apparently Ben "I Love Ai" Affleck's new movie is just a remake of Akira Kurosawa's High & Low. Instead of watching that you should watch Spike Lee's HIGHEST 2 LOWEST which is a remake of High & Low that came out last year & it absolutely rules & it actively says "Fuck Ai" every chance it gets.
positive · AI labelView post →Have none of you ever seen a Spike Lee film before? His treatment of the music score in HIGHEST 2 LOWEST is nothing unusual at all for him. Get it together, people. Oh, also, HIGHEST 2 LOWEST fucking rules. letterboxd.com/billryan/fil...
positive · AI labelView post →I typed about Highest 2 Lowest on letterboxd after I saw it at the almighty Grand Lake Theater. High & Low is my favorite Kurosawa and Malcolm X (1992) changed my life, so I had weird/worried expectations. Spike delivered, and Denzel & Wright are Muhammad Ali & Foreman letterboxd.com/ohbrothers/f...

unlabelledView post →Very into the way Spike Lee plays with score, soundtrack + in-movie tracks in HIGHEST 2 LOWEST, I can't believe we've been blessed with a music business movie from him. "The score is so corny in the first half, then almost disappears in the second half." ALMOST LIKE HE DID THAT ON PURPOSE, HUH.

unlabelledView post →Did you notice that after being on the Oscar losing end to two different movies about a rich person and their chauffeur, Spike literally made a movie this year about a rich person and his chauffeur? Highest 2 Lowest is the ultimate “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” movie.
unlabelledView post →Highest 2 Lowest isn’t Kurosawa. It’s SL using him for his own purposes. It’s interesting for that & many reasons. Where reviews are mixed I think it’s bc it’s never quite the movie you expect. But it really interests me as Denzel having an argument with himself. If you know about him it’s obvious.
unlabelledView post →Highest 2 Lowest is a really good example of a remake that could and probably should have been an original film. Spike Lee takes a lot of the framework from Akira Kurosawa's wonderful original film yet remixes it in an entirely different direction...

unlabelledView post →GF and I just watched High and Low last night before seeing Highest 2 Lowest this week! Really solid Dudes Rock film.
unlabelledView post →Highest 2 Lowest is a solid film with one of the worst film scores I’ve ever heard in my life lol. “Movie about a dog going to college” ass score.
unlabelledView post →Highest 2 Lowest was an excellent film, very Spike Lee, and I'm unqualified to know if the reason I like it so much is my love of the original.
unlabelledView post →My review of HIGHEST 2 LOWEST is live at TFM. The original is still superior but Lee does a great job when focusing on parasocial relationships and the celebrity culture divide between Gen X and Gen Z. thefilmmaven.substack.com/p/highest-2-...

unlabelledView post →HIGHEST 2 LOWEST being about how the music industry has been cratered by the Internet and AI and then being an Apple Original Film is really funny to me
unlabelledView post →Btw if you’ve never seen HIGH AND LOW I strongly recommend watching HIGHEST 2 LOWEST first, so you can appreciate the highly entertaining movie it is without constantly thinking about the masterpiece it isn’t.
