It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

... View MoreEyes Wide Shut was the last film directed by the legend Stanley Kubrick and because it starred the then A list couple Cruise and Kidman, along with many sex scenes the film was way overhyped. And probably didn't live upto this expectation either critically or commercially. But now Eyes Wide Shut is being rediscovered as a cult and already there are a host of blogs and articles online talking about how great the film is. I love it- I think this is one of the finest psychological films ever made. It reeks of atmosphere and the story- based on an Austrain novel is very good. Go see this soon to be declared masterpiece.

... View MoreI was led to believe for a long time that this was a bad film that was not worth my time. I can see how this movie could be divisive, but I think it is well worth the time. I feel that what the movie is really trying to say is hidden under the symbolism. This film is chock full of crazy stuff that I do not have the space to mention here. I was so impressed with this film that I decided to read the novel it was based on, Dream Story by Arthur Schnitzler. Other than a few things, this is an extremely faithful adaptation of the story, and many of the problems people had with the film they would find in the book as well. Except for Tom Cruise, of course.
