Beautiful Women, Men's Fears

Rating: 2/10 (17 September 2016)

I watched this movie out of curiosity because of all the hype when it came out and was terribly disappointed.
After all the talk by Kidman and Cruise about how much they learned from working with Kubrick, I expected more than hammy and stilted acting, but that's all I got. EWS was long-winded, pretentious, boring, serving no point except to showcase beautiful, mostly naked female bodies, beginning with Kidman's.
And beautiful women can be nasty! "Baby did a bad, bad thing" in the spiteful way Alice told her husband Bill about her sexual fantasies not just once, but twice. Even telling him she dreamed about f*ing others while he watched plus she enjoyed his discomfort by laughing at him. Ouch!! The only woman who doesn't emasculate Bill turns out to be a hooker with a heart of gold. Really, Stanley Kubrick?
