Confusing, yet awesome.

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2009)

I bought this on DVD as a whim when I saw it was a Kubrick film. Upon my first viewing I was incredibly boggled and the film definitely f**ked with my mind. Once it was finished and the plot straightened out in my mind and upon subsequent viewing, I definitely began to appreciate and thoroughly enjoy the film. Not surprisingly for Kubrick, the film is original and definitely intriguing. Cruise and Kidman, as usual, delivered great performances as Alice and Bill Harford. The plot took unexpected turns and brings confusion to the viewer, but worthwhile confusion. I recommend purchasing the film as I feel that subsequent viewings are necessary to fully comprehend and appreciate Eyes Wide Shut.
