Eyes Wide Shut (DVD) Reviews

I must start this review by stating that I'm more than aware that I'm in the small minority that love the movie Eyes Wide Shut, I'm not trying to get you to invest cash in this movie, the chances are if you have not seen it you might not enjoy it. Strangely, or maybe not so strange this review of Stanley Kubrick's last, and in my opinion finest ...

In the eyes of some, Stanley Kubrick was the last of the classic directors, and Eyes Wide Shut marks his final effort. Possibly the last great film of the 20th century, yet oft overlooked, Eyes Wide Shut -- despite its distorted reputation and commercial failure -- shows Kubrick not only working at the height of his technical genius, but also ...

Stanley Kubrick is without doubt my favourite film director. This is my review of his last, and perhaps most misunderstood film. The story concerns a well off New York couple, married for 9 years, played by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. They go to a posh society party, each indulges in flirtation, which later leads to a confronational ...

Stanley Kubrick’s last film. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise getting their kit off. On the face of it this should have all the ingredients to be an excellent film. Kubrick is one of the best directors of the last 30 years, Cruise is a box office idol, Kidman is completely gorgeous, throw in a suspected murder and a large ...

Eyes wide shut Well this is going to be a hard review. This is an out-standing film, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. This film is by Stanley Kubrick; he also stars in the film. I got this film out on video over a year ago, I always seem to like the films with Tom Cruise in them but to be honest I wasn’t prepared for ...

'Eyes Wide Shut' was a highly anticipated film, even before the death of its director, Stanley Kubrick. Having watched it on Sky Premier 2 for the first time last night, in all honesty, I have to say that it was slightly disappointing. All the hype in the media that surrounded this film before it release about intimate sexual ...

I was actually too scared to go and see this film at the cinema when it was first released - not because i was too young and i was scared i wouldn't get in, but because from the previews i had seen there was a lot of nudity involved and i was frightened i might get embaressed! *blush* So i waited patiently for it to be released on ...

I recently read some of the other messages posted pertaining to this film and realized that Kubrick left many viewers with a lot of questions. I myself was in their shoes the first time I saw this film. I had consumed a few beers and fell asleep a couple of times. By the time the movie finished I thought it was a complete waste of time and money. ...

Your loving wife tells you of a sexual fantasy she had about a navel officer she once saw in a hotel....WHAT DO YOU DO? Well if your Tom cruise you decide to go on a all night bender of sexual exploration....as you do! Now this movie has been panned by just about everybody. Sure it may not be Stanley Kubricks finest movie (Full metal ...

I'm a big fan of Stanley Kubrick. I'm also very fond of Nicole Kidman, and am just about prepared to accept that Tom Cruise can act. So I went into this film with high hopes. They were quickly dashed. Or rather, they were dashed over the course of two and a half hours. I wasn't really sure what to expect when I saw this - the ...

What can I say? This film was hyped as much as Star Wars and Batman. Supposedly there were people up in arms about the sex scenes in it - though I would like to say - where. I went to see the film because of the hype. I sat through the whole lot wandering what the hell was going on. Wierd is probably not a strong enough word for this ...

With Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick promises a stunning movie but never delivers. The direction is first rate and the cinematography really creates a vividly realistic atmosphere, but the point of the story gets lost with all the characters that come and go as if each scene is merely a set piece. The basic premise concerns a wealthy young couple (Cruise ...

Eyes Wide Shut was the last film from Stanley Kubrick. It was a long time in production and saw some wild rumours emerge involving cast dismissals for bodily fluid misdemeanours. All this ended up to be false and upon release the film received mixed reviews. Kubrick films are something like art, they are wonderful to look at but are slow ...

Stanley Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut" is a cross between an exotic fantasy and mysterious illuminating thriller. The movie also resembles a dream, whether it be a nightmare or preoccupation, as various characters drift in and out of focus during two nights of sexual exploration where opportunities are missed, and or avoided. ...

Personally, I thought they marketed this film all wrong. Stanley Kubrick's final film played out as a sardonic comedy and its hero, Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise), as your traditional confused hero who stumbles around trying to figure things out for a little while before returning to the relative safety and so-called security of his marriage. ...

Eyes Wide Shut was a film for which, it seemed, the world had anticipated so eagerly for so many years that when, in 1999, it was finally unleashed, it could not help but disappoint. The reaction was very predictable: critics had a field day rubbishing the film’s reputation, the box-office takings were poor, and Kubrick’s film (his ...

Kubrick's last film is a big dissapointment. It's long and meandering and seems to make itself up as it goes along. It takes around 30 minutes for any story line to kick in, after which it does improve, but still moves at the pace of a geriatric slug on crutches. Dr. Bill (Cruise) and his wife Alice (Kidman) are a beautiful, rich ...

This film was recommended to me by someone and I definately won't be listening to him again! The best thing about this film was the end credits, because it meant that the film had ended. The storyline was a good idea. Bloke goes to a cult meeting and finds out that it's a sex cult. He gets found out and a woman says ...

I'm still not really sure whether I liked this film simply because I wanted to. It's not the best film Kubrick ever gave the world, but in saying that, it's a film that suffered less from its own weaknesses, and more from the hype surrounding it. I saw this on a huge screen in a packed Omniplex, and there's no way it ever belonged ...
