"The world-building on display from director George Miller and writer James Morgan is undoubtedly impressive, but the story itself is cold and unrelatable." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times
"There are a lot of moving pieces in High Society. While watching, I was concerned it wouldn't all fit together, but thankfully the film had a talent like George Miller at the helm to make my fears unfounded." - Justin Rodriguez, Detroit Free Press
"Sometimes when casting a movie you can throw a bunch of big names into the mix and it all works out. This is not one of those movies. George Clooney and Angelina Jolie feel especially out of place and wrong for their parts." - Jeff Stockton, Deseret News
