Wonderful character development!

Truly Dreadful Film

Sadly Over-hyped

An Exercise In Nonsense

This can not be a full and complete movie. Something is not shot. It's a half movie. It just ends aburabtly.

Eyes Wide Shut was the last film by the legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. At the time of its released the film caused a furore because of the nudity and sex involved but this is a great film which is being slowly being re appreciated and rediscovered, as is the case with most of Kubrick's films. Tom Cruise and Nichole Kidman- real life husband wife at the time- play husband wife that get involved in a sex cult of some sort. This film has a fantastic atmosphere and a mesmerizing flow. You must watch this film, although be aware that it is strictly for adults.

I love everything about this movie, the score is finominoly done.The cinimatroghry is wonderful and the way the film is lit makes the film look so natural. The performances are great and the way the film takes in thems of lust,emotional disconnect, and the subconscious.It also has my favorit film ending of all time. Its a film that requires multiple watchs to apretiat.

First, lets start with technical aspect. The dialogues and the scenes in the movie are something else - they are long and slow, which is quite unusual for movies. The scenes are very slow, but they glue you to the screen. You have intense feeling while watching the movie and the movie is mysterious. You have to watch this movie in a slow, relaxed, immersed state - don't expect action here. This movie is really well directed and is truly a piece of cinematographic art in different ways - dialogues, story, meaning, scenes, looks. Tom Cruise is beautiful, more adult and already looks more like Ethan Hunt here, which is cool. Nicole Kidman is beautiful as well. Keep in mind there's really a lot of nudity here, so you might not want to show or recommend it to everyone. * What is the movie about and what is the lesson? * The whole movie I was asking myself "Why would she tell her husband that she wanted to have sex with another man?! That can totally ruin their relationship, it was not necessary to tell that!". However, after reading reviews, it seems that actually the movie is about on sexual relationship and fantasies and that you NEED to be open about some things like that. When a couple does not share their fantasies or desires then they might start fantasizing bad things, like cheating with someone else who can fullfill these desires. As a result, they both started fantasizing about cheating. Thus, it is important to tell your desires or thoughts to the partner, to make sure they know what you want. As some people have noticed, there are really many sexual scenes in this movie with different types of people, which all might represent something, no one knows for sure, so there are many theories, but I guess it is open for interpretation on purpose.I think it is worth reading fan theories, for example on reddit I've seen some really interesting theories.
