One of the worst movies ever

Rating: 1/10 (26 January 2015)

I'm not sure why people think this is such a great movie. Just because it's Stanley Kubrick? I don't know. The acting is stilted and, at best, bland, as is the dialog. Maybe even the actors couldn't find a way to make the writing more interesting so, even their acting came off badly.
There is absolutely no chemistry between anyone. The "orgy" scenes are laughable and couldn't be any less sexy if they tried. Even the sex scenes are boring! Some people said it was filmed beautifully. Where? Harsh, yet kind of gauzy. It just seemed to be both glaring at you and out of focus at the same time.
This is not a masterpiece. Oh, it wants to be. And it tries to be so provocative, smart and forward thinking. Instead, it comes of as an old fashion 70s porn film - and not even as sexy as one of those! It was ridiculous. I did sit through the whole thing when it first came out. I kept expecting it to get better, I guess. And I tried to watch it again recently. It's even worse now. It has not aged well.
One to skip unless you are just curious. A really, really bad film - don't let the "10s" fool you!
