    Enticing and Erotic Thriller

    by 350Z_Guy

    Eyes Wide Shut is an amazing, erotic thriller. Tom Cruise is drawn into a world that he does not understand - - it is a world of esoteric pagan rituals. Many viewers do not know that the rituals depicted actually existed in European cultures, but were not designed to be "evil". However, in this movie they are performed by the elite, upper class gentry, and form the backdrop for a thrill ride that will keep everyone guessing at the ending.

    Kubrick Fan

    by indewrtr88

    I am a hardcore Kubrick fan so I like anything he does. But I dont think many people see the irony in this movie. This movie is about two people who are struggling, like we all do, in their relationship and marriage, and what they are tempted with. Although this movie is sexy, it is not primarily about sex. And neither of them ever cheat on each other.
    This movie is definitely worth seeing. When watching it forget all the previews you saw and all the reviews you read. Keep a open mind. Do not watch it just to see Nicole or Tom get naked. Watch it for the artistry and the plot that is there but most ignore and you will enjoy it! And you wil realize how smart and clever this film really is.

    my eyes wide shut review

    by lord-o-movies

    a very very intresting movie
    im suprised that this was not nc-17
    there was a little bit too much nudity
    but the movie is not all about sex
    it is about obsession and desire
    this movie is very errie ecspecialy the scens with the members and their mask
    stanely kubrik did an amazing job as he always did
    and i wish he could make more ground breaking films like this one
    tom and nicole were great in thid movie
    so was syndny pollack
    you may not like this movie because of its content
    but this movie is about
    OBSESSION
    as stanely kubricks last film i belive that his name will forever last in classic cinema
    and may his soul rest in peace
