Plodding, pretentious, and utterly pointless

Rating: Null/10 (25 October 2000)

Kubrick's last film is horrendous. Every scene goes on two or three times as long as it should, and many of them are completely without dramatic purpose. Perhaps there is some sort of insight going on here, but it's impossible to decipher through the tedious, repetitive machinations of the film's non-story. An utter waste of film and talent.
