My Eyes were Wide Shut

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 1999)

This is a promising movie for quite a while, until Tom Cruise's character goes into the orgy scene. From then on the whole movie falls apart, no longer are we intrigued about sexual desire, rather we are bored senseless by a bunch of people wearing masks and hoods. Nicole Kidman is the only good thing about this movie and really it would be nothing worth talking about without her. I've now seen two Stanley Kubrick films and I have to say that he is one sick man with no dream with his work, no vision and not a clue about writing either! Why does so much praise get given to him when his work is just long drawn out plotless crap?
