Arresting At Times, But Ultimately Tedious, And With A Crappy Ending

Rating: 4/10 (14 March 2020)

Arresting visuals, to be sure, and no doubt very original for its time. But I found it to be overlong and tedious, with a last act that is equally overlong and tedious. In addition I found the violence (even by today's standards of violence) off putting. I do not consider this film as essential as others do, nor Kubrick's supposed genuis to be all that evident.
