Review of Eyes Wide Shut (1999) by Teddy V — 12 Apr 2012

If you like most of what Hollywood's turning out these days, don't watch this film. If you like most of Tom Cruise's movies, Nicole Kidman's movies, or the movies they did together, don't watch this film.

If you require epileptic fit inducing stimulation and jump cuts to stay engaged in a movie, don't watch this film. On the other hand, if you enjoy mood filled cinema, sympathizing with a sort of everyman who finds himself very out of place, and basically just a slowly twisting and turning plot, watch this film.

Then go out and get every other film Kubrick ever made, because they're all brilliant.
