A mixed reaction....

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 1999)

I just got back from seeing Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick's final movie. It's not one of his best, but still a movie that should be seen. If you're not a Kubrick fan, this could be a little boring. I myself love Kubrick, and i thought that the pace could be a little faster. Some scenes worked incredibly well, such as one part of the much talked about "orgy" scene. A disappointment for people that just want to see Nicole get naked, she has her clothes on for much of the movie. The music was overall well done, however the piano piece featured in the television spot got worn a little thin by too much repetition. I don'y think that this movie will be very financially successful, but it was good nonetheless.
