High & Low – John Galliano

Director Kevin Macdonald constructs a nuanced portrait, relying on archival runway footage, intimate present-day scenes, and candid interviews with Galliano himself and industry insiders. The film explores the toxic culture of permissiveness without asking easy questions or providing simple answers.

What lingers after the credits is the uneasy collision of undeniable genius and deplorable action. A potent meditation on whether we can separate the art from the artist, and where the line of redemption is drawn. — MovieFinder Editorial
