Reviews
"High Pass" holds a modest rating on IMDb with a 5.9/10, reflecting a mixed reception among audiences and critics alike. While not widely reviewed on major international platforms like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, the film has garnered appreciation for its naturalistic cinematography and strong lead performance by Nataliia Naum. Some reviews highlight the film's slow pacing and minimalistic storytelling as a double-edged sword — providing an immersive, atmospheric experience for viewers who appreciate art-house cinema, but potentially disengaging those seeking a more dynamic narrative. Critics have noted the authenticity of the setting and the nuanced depiction of its characters, praising the film’s quiet emotional depth and visual composition. Conversely, some find the narrative lacking in significant plot development, which may affect its broader appeal.
