like a dream

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2011)

Suspense and sex are the keywords here. The movie is about one of the most interesting topics and it's sex. It shows how sex can affect a relationship between a nice and young couple and how big influence sex has on how we act to different situations. The one night story which the film follows is suspenseful and sexy so that makes it attractive. Nevertheless, there is not that much nudity or sex on-screen.
In my opinion, all the Stanley Kubrick's films are must see. The Glare, long takes, close-ups of emotional faces, three-way conflicts etc are all something of an unique. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are a perfect couple here. They deliver quite well.
The story told here is like a strange dream. Something completely different happens which tests your senses and you'd want to know why. But you certainly don't want to wake up because you'd want to know where it ends.
