Mouth Wide Open. Excellent Masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 1999)

This movie was amazing. Excellent, excellent film. One of the best movies I've ever seen. I would have known it was film of Kubrick's if I knew nothing about it before seeing it. Halfway through the film at the orgy sequence It was very intense and haunting. The film just drew me in. Something that probably won't happen for most commercial audiences. It is too weird for most people. Most commercial audiences will either love it or just not get it. But people who love Kubrick will love this.
The digital mask placing wasn't as bad or as comical as critics say. It would have been nice to see it how it was intended though. And it is a shame that Warner Bros. is more concerned with making money. I'm 17 and I don't think that most people my age or under would want to see this film anyway. It's far too complex.
Nicole Kidman was EXCELLENT. Especially in the pot smoking scene. I wouldn't be suprised if she got an Oscar nomination or even an Oscar. Another standout was Alan Cummings as the desk clerk.
EYES WIDE SHUT probably won't be nominated for anything else if you go by the Academy's history with Kubrick films.
Don't listen to critics. Kubrick's films always got some bad response from critics. You have to see it for yourself.
