Titilation for chinstrokers.

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2001)

For the record, I tend to like Kubrick's films, so i approached this with an open mind.
And what rubbish it was. Utter Monkey.
This is a fat, bloated film, serving little or no purpose, plotless, badly acted and so stupifyingly dull. I think Mr. Kubrick may have begun to believe his own hype.
The casting was terrible. I didn't care about either of the characters, I was hoping a terrible accident would befall them to cut the film short, but unluckily for me it ground on relentlessly for ages going nowhere. This surprises me as I normally mark Kubrick for exactly the opposite. Very disappointing.
