September 4, 2009The intrigue was there but the pay off wasn't. Kubrick was a master of cinema and this is the only film he made that i didn't like, which is a shame as it was his last. If it was not for the high standards he set in cinema, maybe i would have rated it higher but this pointless od...( read more)

May 17, 2009I'm going to throw out a bold statement. Eyes Wide Shut is the most under rated film of Stanley Kubrick's career. I've heard all of the complaints. You know, the people that say he was catering to the two married, big name stars and that he let his film suffer because of it. I do...( read more)

March 28, 2009This rather drawn out mystery explores an unknown world of a sexual nature. It seems (at least to me) a strange pairing between Director and Actors in this case, meaning Cruise and Kidman?s usual roles being a little more squeaky clean, but perhaps that was the appeal at the tim...( read more)

January 11, 2009Severely misunderstood psychological drama about an affluent married couple whose marriage begins to crumble after the wife reveals a potent sexual fantasy she's been having. Lust, jealousy and sex are the subject here. Soft, luminescent cinematography highlight the opulent pro...( read more)

November 21, 2008Boredom broken up occassionally with random nudity. The beginning of the end for Cruise/Kidman.

November 2, 2009this movie is certainly thought provoking. A beautifully crafted movies that leaves us with many questions that have more than one possible answer.

September 26, 2008Avg rating among my friends here...4 stars...hmmmm Everyone...even Sydney Pollack stars in this 1999 Stanley KUBRICK film...A somewhat bewildering movie so I thought...which I believe depicts why these 2 did NOT stay together..and instead found HAPPIER choices for each of them! Congratulations to the NEW couples & their lovely offspring....interesting film..if confusing...an ALMOST affair starts this whole dynamo going??!??!

July 16, 2008Never judge by the pace value. One would never imagine that such things were going on under the guise of costume paty. A tooth for a tooth and and eye for an eye will lead no marriage nowhere.

January 29, 2008This film is hilarious.
It's a never ending story and one of the films in which i rated Tom Cruise so high.
It's a must-watch.

March 8, 2007Though there are a few ahead in my all time SK faves,I just feel this one is always overlooked.Yes,there are alot of slower moments with s l o w conversations as the characters utter their words.The conversations between Tom and Nic do feel very real to me,especially the bedroom/pot/argument scene.It is a beautifully dark film but with a drop of hope splashed upon the end.I know it may be a meaningless thing to say,but the fact that the last word in Kubrick's last film is "Fuck."always seems to make me laugh for some odd reason.I love and own the soundtrack as well.The best scene though,of course,is the entire scene at the party house.Its direction,its paranoia and how it is like a bad dream when its all said and done,it just creeps me out in a sense.Ive seen thebanned version of the scene but own the US version and you CAN tell a difference in a couple of parts.Anyways,I love this film,though not my top 3,definently better than some of his pre-Lolita films.Stanley,we miss you!

March 5, 2007A film that had the potential to be one of the greatest movies EVER. Instead though, were are given a film that treads in a pointless affair with mashed messages blenderised with a nonsensical plot. Kidman is brilliant, the camerawork and lighting vibrant, but you'll be pressed to find much more from this sorely overappreciated work.

December 26, 2006Kubrick's Gift to us all. "I have seen one or two things in my life but never, never anything like this.
