  High-Rise is very classy. It's rare these days to get a good dystopian film. The degradation of the high-rise building as the film progresses is well developed, it starts off idyllic and then falls into chaos as the residents realise the class segregation is apparent. Acting is quintessentially British, plenty of charm and nice wit (particularly Tom Hiddleston). Nicely directed and shot. The only problem, and it is a major problem...is that the film feels like 3 hours long. The pacing is horrendous. But if you stick with it, it's a decent dystopian drama using the high-rise building as a microcosm for society...yeah, it's deep stuff.
