Deliberate Dialogue Creates Unique Film

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 1999)

I thought "Eyes Wide Shut" was a very good movie. The cinematography was spectacular - especially a scene in the mansion with all of the masked and cloaked individuals gathered together, the dialogue was intense and very deliberate (no jargon filler), and the suspense and intrigue really kept me hanging on until the end.
The movie dragged on at times but kept within the theme of showing the complexity of marriage, specifically jealousy within marriage. Its unfortunate that this will be Kubrick's last cinematic experience, fortunately he ended his legacy with a gem of a movie.
