The most beautiful motion picture I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2016)

As if viewing a grand hall of the most exquisite portraits, this is the most beautiful motion picture I have ever seen. Stanley Kubrick began his rise to prominence as a still photographer, and that is plain to see; he had the eye for the shot, and uncompromisingly knew how to capture it. A masterpiece, by a true master artist. I don't believe I have bestowed a '10' rating prior to this, but upon this film, I am compelled. If you have not viewed it, I can only insist that you do so when undisturbed, in peace. As Jack Nicholson said, "Kubrick was the man." I could in no way disagree with such sentiment. He wrote, produced, and directed this film, and I feel none of his other works, exceptional and superior as they are, compares to it. To experience this gallery of frames is to glimpse the 'vision' of the man who created it, and I am awed in its promise of possibilities, for what can be.
