"A solid fest item, a razor-sharp miniature, capturing the precise moment when prolonged adolescence surrenders to sober adulthood. Performances, language, and technical/design aspects are perfectly honed, certainly bodes well for the future of director Lila Yomtoob and her collaborators." - Variety

"The Beauty of the $5,000 film, apart from the acting edginess, great score, humor, pathos and bathroom bathos, is the fact that it got made. To modify a Frank Zappa line that he had taken from Varese, the modern day artist refuses to die; and Yomtoob never let little things like money or the film industry come between her and her vision." -Montreal Gazette
"High Life reminded us of what independent filmmaking was like in the age before 'Indiewood.'"- The SFist
