Kubrick posthumous release is excellent

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 1999)

I'm sure lots of people will go to the theater looking to see a nice shot of Tom Cruise's backside or Nicole Kidman's goodies, or perhaps they'll be lured by the chance they'll get to see soft-core porn on the big screen. These people will be highly disappointed by the fact that this film is incredibly erotic without being extremely illicit. As usual for Stanley Kubrick, the film is full of tastefulness and amazing camera angles that show you just how much characterization and suspense can be built through solid camera work. If you are searching for passionate sex scenes, look elsewhere; if you have a true desire to see a master of moviemaking performing using every bit of talent (actors included) he can muster, you will thoroughly enjoy yourself.
