Interesting, yet not a masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 1999)

While I really liked Kubrick's final film, it left me puzzled and disoriented at times. I can't call it his masterpiece, to be honest with you, but I still feel that it is one of the best films of the year. In a weak year for quality films, the best so far have been October Sky, Tarzan, Blair Witch Project, and now Eyes Wide Shut.
