A lushly crafted and finely acted drama about seeing the world with eyes wide shut - until they are opened!

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 1999)

Kubrick's movie, and it is HIS movie, opens your eyes to a rich and finely detailed world which is secure and certain, until a specific moment in time, after which there is a surprise around every corner and even at the end one is not certain as to what was real and what was charade. At once both slow moving and engrossing, Kidman and Cruise do a bad bad thing, and learn in the process about life love and sex.
