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 →First poster for Highest 2 Lowest, Spike Lee’s new film starring Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, A$AP Rocky and Ice Spice. Teaser trailer releases tomorrow.
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...
neutral · AI labelView post →The 'Sinners' & 'Highest 2 Lowest' directors talk about their leading men, Michael B. 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...

neutral · AI labelView 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.
positive · AI labelView post →On Monday, my weekly movie club watched Juraj Herz's Beauty and the Beast. It was incredibly unhinged. After, I watched Highest 2 Lowest and it was an incredible disappointment. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched
negative · AI labelView post →The Allstate Mayhem guy is in Highest 2 Lowest but I swear Spike told him he was in a different movie all together, just bizarre
negative · AI labelView post →Spike Lee's HIGHEST 2 LOWEST is now on Apple TV+. Read my review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

neutral · AI labelView post →Now that it's out, you've no excuse to miss HIGHEST 2 LOWEST. It's a movie that plays well with an audience, so don't wait for it to show up on streaming! This raucous Spike Lee joint needs to be seen in a theater. You owe it to Den-ZELLL. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/12/a...

neutral · AI labelView 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.
neutral · AI labelView 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.
neutral · AI labelView 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...
positive · AI labelView post →Spike Lee on going to film school + being inspired by Kurosawa — HIGHEST 2 LOWEST is a reimagining of Kurosawa’s HIGH AND LOW

neutral · AI labelView post →GF and I just watched High and Low last night before seeing Highest 2 Lowest this week! Really solid Dudes Rock film.
positive · AI labelView 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.
neutral · AI labelView 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.
positive · AI labelView 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-...

neutral · AI labelView 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
neutral · AI labelView 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.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching “Highest 2 Lowest” and this movie should’ve been called “Paul Christopher beats the hell out of everyone”
