if audience interpretation of a film's point still requires a point

Rating: 2/10 (17 September 1999)

Was Kubrick trying to say something?
Certainly Cruise and Kidder were acting as if he did.
The film did teach me a new aspect of overacting: It's being relative; and, in this case, any acting would have been overacting.
The only thing I could derive from this film was:
If Kubrick was saying anything, he was saying that, during some real life experience, he himself knew of a place as in Glen Cove, and until this flick, never told anyone about it -while still not telling anyone about it.
Meanwhile, if audience interpretation of a film's point still requires a point, then Kubrick was leaving it to the audience to make one up.
And, while I'm sure there will be plenty, I doubt any will surpass the casts' own obvious befuddlement on there having been any.
