Critics Consensus

Kubrick's intense study of the human psyche yields an impressive cinematic work.

Richard T. Jameson

Film Comment Magazine

Kubrick's final film is unique in his oeuvre for concluding on a note of apparent affirmation.

This is finally a film that is better at mood than substance, that has its strongest hold on you when it's making the least amount of sense.

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

Eyes Wide Shut still has an eerie mood that is purely Kubrickian. His smooth, neon-lit world and its unhappy residents are compelling, even addictive.

Rated: 4/5

Eyes Wide Shut is Kubrick doing Kubrick but it's not quite a masterpiece compared to earlier works, nor is it an erotic thriller.

Rated: 3.5/5

No matter the debate over just how complete it is or what it’s trying to say, Eyes Wide Shut remains a remarkable achievement in a filmography stacked with them. It perfectly encapsulates the many sides and moods of Stanley Kubrick, flitting with dreamlike sensibilities, dark humor, stark cinematography and thematic ambiguity

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

This film will with age will and is iconic. A master piece of direction. A must see. It leaves something with you that never goes away. It touchs the primeval, the vulnerability of our humanity, the question of love, passion sex. Our childhood insecurities and insecurity of losing anc knowing that we are just minutiae in the plans and eyes of the elite the all powerful the men and women who conttol it all and allow and create the Epstien islands of the world. It also casts light on promiscuity of that which some men hold sacred and the stealing of innocence.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is one of the worst movies I have ever attempted to watch... had to stop halfway due to the lack of storyline. Can't deal with a cheating nasty husband and crazy wife. The rating this has at 75% is truly a mistake. I cannot believe so many people to be sick in the head to watch this.
