WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

Newsweek by

If some nagging sense of anachronism, a bit too much Freudian Vienna in his postmodern New York, prevents Eyes Wide Shut from being at the top of his list, Kubrick's 13th and last film is his most humane.

TNT RoughCut by Christopher Brandon

It's a mind-blowing game, and all that nonsense about this being an erotic thriller was merely part of Kubrick's game.

Slate by David Edelstein

A somnolent load of wank.

Washington Post by Desson Thomson

It's painstakingly paced, but it's also entrancing.

The New York Times by Elvis Mitchell

Kubrick left one more brilliantly provocative tour de force as his epitaph.

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews

Ultimately, Eyes Wide Shut doesn't rank among Kubrick's best work.

ReelViews by James Berardinelli

In terms of power and effect, Eyes Wide Shut approaches (but does not surpass) Kubrick's vintage work - it is thought-provoking and unsettling.

Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman

The director's famously over-deliberate, pause-laden style verges, for the first time, on amateurville, and that gives us too much time to linger on the movie's more bizarre details.

Film.com by Robert Horton

It's Kubrick, for sure, and in often mesmerizing form.

Washington Post by Stephen Hunter

It's empty of ideas, which is fine, but it's also empty of heat.
