Eyes Wide Shut
Filmmaking giant Stanley Kubrick's last film, an erotic thriller with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. An argument over fidelity between Dr Bill Harford (Cruise) and his wife (Kidman) sends the physician on a dangerous night-long odyssey - a surreal succession of sexually charged encounters capped off by a clandestine visit to an upper-class orgy.

Variety
A riveting, thematically probing, richly atmospheric and just occasionally troublesome work...

Empire Magazine
A cold, humourless, despairingly cynical (and thus typically Kubrickian) observation of human relationships.

Guess what? It's not very erotic. Haunting, yes. Provocative, yes. Sexually graphic, oh, yeah. But arousing, it is not.

The Washington Post
It feels creaky, ancient, hopelessly out of touch, infatuated with the hot taboos of (Kubrick's) youth...

This is nothing that can't be found in a Penthouse video, albeit shot by a man who had an almost mystical grasp of film's technical capabilities.
