Nearly flawless storytelling.

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 1999)

Kubrick's attention to detail shows well here. Some may find fault with the story for its vagueness, others who desire a more literal storyline may dislike this film. The film leaves a great many "how" and "why" questions unanswered - and perhaps that's for the best. The movie leaves us with a few questions to ponder, and that's probably the way it should be. The whole story is subject to interpretation on many levels, and Kubrick wisely left the interpretation up to each viewer.
