	DVD Review - Eyes Wide Shut (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Infamous director Stanley Kubrick’s last film, "Eyes Wide Shut" was surrounded by a lot of scandalous controversy when it first appeared in theaters.
		Before you get upset about the lack of a widescreen presentation, let me tell you that according to Warner home Video, this is the correct aspect ratio the late director had anticipated for the movie’s video release.
		With that in mind, "Eyes Wide Shut" is probably a great movie for Kubrick-fans, and this DVD brings out the best in the film, but for the rest of the DVD world, this movie is not nearly as exciting as it has been stylized to be.

	AboutFilm.Com - Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
		Eyes Wide Shut may be Kubrick’s most intensely personal film, and thus your enjoyment of the film will depend on your ability to relate to Kubrick’s thoughts and feelings.
		Eyes Wide Shut is certainly not a modern film (it would have been far more effective had it been set before the sexual revolution), but the sexual stereotypes it explores continue to exist today.
		It’s interesting how, in its uneven brilliance, Eyes Wide Shut is similar to another recent movie by a reclusive eccentric not heard from in years, The Thin Red Line.

	Eyes Wide Shut \| Reverse Shot
		What makes Eyes Wide Shut truly rock me to my core is not its tastefully cadaverous nudity or its depiction of a nefarious New York sexual underworld, but rather its utter lack of trendiness and its profound humanist empathy, all twisted up as it is in a portrait of suspended moral decay.
		What’s gripping Eyes Wide Shut’s Dr. Bill Harford are the twin discomforts of fidelity, to his wife and to medicine.
		Eyes Wide Shut exists in a more explicitly secular world but nevertheless is imbued with a metaphysical malaise.

	Review: Eyes Wide Shut
		Eyes Wide Shut is Kubrick through and through, from the frequent long, unbroken takes to the camera's refusal to remain static.
		The key theme in Eyes Wide Shut is one near and dear to Kubrick's heart: the dehumanization of society.
		The orgy scene is the fulcrum of Eyes Wide Shut, and, during its course, all of the copulating couples are masked and costumed.

	Long Pauses
		Eyes Wide Shut remains remarkably faithful to the source material; the most significant change is its movement from turn of the century Vienna to contemporary New York.
		Though the move was widely criticized in the popular press — many of whom claimed that the sexual moralizing of the film seemed better suited for the Victorian era — it fits Kubrick's modus operandi.
		As she is led away and he is placed in a taxi, The Mysterious Woman has, in a sense, temporarily redeemed Harford by converting his shame into the guilt that motivates his actions for the remainder of the film.

		Visually beautiful, Stanley Kubrick's last completed film Eyes Wide Shut blends the sinister, the sensual and the clinical in a combination that is rather too personal and idiosyncratic to be entirely successful as the final statement about gender and sexuality he intended it to be.
		Eyes Wide Shut is so unusual that it's probably better for the viewer to go in with no expectations whatsoever.
		In the end, Eyes Wide Shut is a movie about relationships, particularly marriage, with infidelity and jealousy standing as the touchstones of Kubrick's elaborate exploration of the most intense and vulnerable of emotions.

	EYES WIDE SHUT - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Eyes Wide Shut is partly about the weapon of honesty and the comfort--the necessity--of lies.
		Eyes Wide Shut was the first Kubrick film since Barry Lyndon to not catch the zeitgeist of its era, and there might be all sorts of reasons for that, many pertaining to Tom Cruise and his fan-base.
		Eyes Wide Shut's box office failure notwithstanding (what a silly measure of success), it is a fitting coda to a career that engaged and puzzled always and simultaneously.

		While heading uptown on 6th Ave in a NYC cab yesterday, I spotted a new bus stop poster for "Eyes Wide Shut" This was not the poster that has been circulating on the web.

		It was inevitable that Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut would be the most misunderstood film of 1999.
		Its major movement is an imaginative night-journey (even the daylight parts of it) taken by a man reeling from his wife's teasing confession of fantasized infidelity, and toward the end there is a token gesture of the couple waking to reality and, perhaps, a new, chastened maturity.

		Eyes Wide Shut confers the impression that you are viewing a masterpiece"...
		It certainly was not so much due to the much-hyped publicity that preceded its launch; the steamy trailers, and newsstand covers seemingly depicting a world of necrophilia, swinging and extra–marital exploration wrapped in an erotically charged thriller.
		Eyes Wide Shut is largely concerning a transitory fracture that develops within the seemingly perfect relationship between Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) the well-heeled Manhattan general practitioner and his wife Alice (Nicole Kidman).

	TheMovieBoy Review: Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
		His latest, and final, triumph is "Eyes Wide Shut," which is a Kubrick picture in every sense of the word, except for in the lasting impression it leaves on the viewer.
		It's difficult to describe the premise of "Eyes Wide Shut" because, for one, the story has been so heavily secretive for so long that to say anymore wouldn't be fair, and two, words merely could never do justice to the film as a whole.
		The centerpiece of "Eyes Wide Shut," of course, coming midway through, is the private masquerade party that Bill manages to get into when he acquires the password.

	Eyes Wide Shut
		As you might imagine, the film thematizes precisely this problem: the fear that what you see is never quite what’s out there, that you can’t help but process and twist images, reshape even the most recent memories, and edit what you see to reassure yourself that your notion of the world is prudent and correct.
		Eyes Wide Shut extends the director’s investigation of white straight male sexuality, anxiety and violence.
		But then you might also see what Eyes Wide Shut is getting at, that seeing and knowing aren’t the same thing, that seeing is alarming, erratic, unreliable, even that imagining reality might be the best you can do.

	Eyes Wide Shut
		At his best Stanley Kubrick was one of cinema’s masters – his filmic sense utterly dwarfed that of all but a handful of his contemporaries – and his reputation can’t be made to sink or swim on the basis of a single picture.
		Eyes Wide Shut, despite its modest air and some haunting scenes, is a flawed work by Kubrickian standards, and it’s almost certainly the work of a man who thought he had another movie or two left in him.
		Eyes Wide Shut may become known as the movie that lays Kubrick’s reputation as a misanthrope to rest: the film’s final note of cautious reconciliation is a surprisingly hopeful affirmation of marriage and family.

		One thing is clear from Stanley Kubrick's last film, the enigmatic and phlegmatic Eyes Wide Shut -- the late director admired Nicole Kidman's butt almost as much as she does.
		The insertion of digitalized fig-leaf figures to earn the film an R rating doesn't help (though it does play on the themes of desire and repression), but the feckless orgy sequence would be a tonal and atmospheric disaster anyway.
		With an opening-weekend gross of $22.8 million, Eyes promises to be the most lucrative and artistically mediocre achievement of Stanley Kubrick's career.
