The best movie of 1999, and one of the best ever.

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 1999)

This movie has the sort of mystical, Baroque atmosphere that all of Kubrick's other films have. The feeling left after watching is lasting and strong; no interpretation is pushed on the viewer, and like all great works of art, no petty activist's dogma, moral point, or "lesson" exists in this work. The subtlety and lush malevolence of the material is probably the cause of its surprising lack of popularity with critics, who, were very quick to try and show how smart they are and maliciously jumped on it, writing some really bad--as in badly written and thought-out--reviews in the process.

In my opinion this is one of Kubrick's best movies and one of the best movies ever.
