Ridiculously slow

Rating: 3/10 (23 October 2010)

I'm a fan of Stanley Kubrick but I have to admit that I can't stand Eyes Wide Shut. The film moves at a snail's pace for no apparent reason. It's not suspenseful and long periods of time go by where barely anything happens.
The plot is extremely hard to follow as well. As Bill tries to piece everything together the audience is left with increasingly more questions, leading up to a completely anticlimactic and unbelievable conversation at the end in which Ziegler magically explains everything. When I spend the whole movie expecting Bill to dramatically uncover the truth, the last thing I want is a half-assed "oh, by the way, here are all the answers," right before the end.
To top it all off, Nicole Kidman's acting job is subpar.
