You better prepare yourself first ...

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 1999)

Once you get to see EYES WIDE SHUT, you will realize, that there is not half the amount of sex-scenes everybody is talking about. What you see is a quite confused movie with the potential of making you think about a lot of things in a different way, after you have seen it. Unfortunately, the only thing you are thinking different afterwards is the overall-meaning about Stanley Kubrick: even genies can make mistakes.
EYES WIDE SHUT is a very long (you feel every minute of it!) movie with a few fantastic scenes (f. i. the person of the clerk at RAINBOW FASHION or the cinematography of the sexual orgy in the castle) and a good start but at the end, nothing seemed to fit together for me. I think, Stanley Kubrick wanted too much to put into the movie, so it is bursting of its content confusing the audience totally.
I would not say, the film was not worth to be seen, but you should prepare yourself before you get to see it.
