Review of Eyes Wide Shut

You mean Eyes Wide Sh-t!
31 August 2004
I'm a Kubrick fan, but that was one of the most disappointing films I've ever seen. Someone else should have directed it, and Stanley should have produced it. The photography was nice, the issue of the story had potential, but the energy and pace died! Everyone was waiting for their cues instead of listening to each other. This was the 3rd collaboration between Cruise and Kidman, and all 3 films did not do well at the box-office. There was no EROTICISM in this film. Emotions seemed to be forced in this story instead of it happening naturally. The soundtrack was quite interesting and original. Now I'm told that Stanley did not use himself as an extra in the Jazz club, it sure looked like him.
