Plotwise, it’s less stunning."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 87/100 "In typical Kubrick style, the puzzle master allows us to construct our own reality..."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 4/4 "Eyes Wide Shut is an extraordinary, exhilarating, haunting masterwork; an important final destination for the journey of one of cinema's most beloved directors."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 1.5/4 "Kubrick, alas, should have quit while he was ahead."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth A+ "A thinking man's work of art."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 4/4 "Slowly but surely wrapped around me and put me under its rapturous spell."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3.5/4 "Eyes Wide Shut isn't the masterpiece many were hoping to see in Stanley Kubrick's final film, but it is an impressive achievement; a mesmerizing, haunting, adult psychodrama..."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "Kidman is consistently excellent. This is the most powerful role she has taken on throughout a varied career."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "an utterly absorbing nightmare of a film, a precise director's evocation of a waking dream, punctuated with uncharacteristic humanity and a surprisingly optimistic ending."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/4 "Misunderstood as a psychosexual thriller, Stanley Kubrick's final film is actually more of an acidic comedy about how Tom Cruise fails to get laid."   Slant Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 4/4 "It's one of the few true masterpieces of the 90's, even if it took me a third viewing to realize just how phenomenal it was."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "No one shoots a film like Kubrick, and this picture's visual style -- the incredible cinematography, lighting and production detail -- is simply mesmerizing and glorious to watch."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "All in all, much like many of Mr. Kubrick's other films, this is not the kind of movie that can be fully digested in one sitting."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "It's fitting that Kubrick go out in style, with an uneasy film like Eyes Wide Shut, one that had critics divided and audiences baffled."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 4/4 "Gracias, señor Kubrick, por habernos dejado tan invaluable legado"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 4/4 "There's no doubt that the late Stanley Kubrick was one of the most brilliant filmmakers of the century. Even when you're put off by how cold and deliberate his films can be, you still can't help but be amazed by the artistry."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 4/4 "No one familiar with the cold precision of Kubrick's work will be surprised that this isn't the steamy erotic thriller a synopsis (or the ads) might suggest."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh low +2 out of -4..+4 "There are some surprising problems with the film but it is not without its moments of delight."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 4/4 "In a way, Kubrick is like Dante. He is the guide on a journey through one particular circle of Hell, but he safely brings us back to where we started."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 3/10 "[I]t's a tedious, preposterous story about how men use, misuse, and misunderstand female sexuality."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/4 "Kubrick, Cruise, and Kidman's end is to create a probing and painfully real examination of a marriage, relationships in general, and basic human desire and nature."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Michael Dequina 2/4 "A failed effort from that great director, a movie that has lots of admirable technical elements and performances, yet not enough conviction to make it fully stir the loins or the brain."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Qualquer filme capaz de despertar tantas indagações já vale uma conferida."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 5/5 "Like all Kubrick's films, this one will take time, and multiple viewings, to yield up its full meaning and resonance."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 8/10 "s this Kubrick's best work? I don't think so, but it is certainly in keeping with his tradition of creating enigmatic films with emotionally isolated characters."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "It's the last work we'll ever see by a filmmaker who gave us so much in the dozen films he created over nearly five decades of filmmaking."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 8/10 "A flawed experiment, but definitely worth seeing."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "Kubrick would not have wanted any one truth to emerge"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Shane Burridge 3/10 "Perverted, pretentious, numbing."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 4/4 Read review   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 8/10 Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Jonathan F.
