Odd, I find myself strangely mesmerised by Nicole Kidman, to the point where I become unable to listen to the dialogue or notice anyone else in any films she's in. I still have no idea if Eyes Wide Shut is any good or not, despite having watched it three times.

I actually enjoyed the movie and it made me want to read the books. It wasn't super awesome but was well worth seeing I thought.

OK I've decided. It's shit. Really bad. At first I wasn't sure if I was missing something in it or not, but I wasn't, it's hamfisted, badly acted, shallow, unsubtle, unpleasant and boring. And the repeated use of blue/orange crosslighting is intensely annoying and painfully overdone. And Nicole Kidman is rubbish in it, really. I should probably have made another thread for this but I didn't think it deserved it. |

Many people I've talked to who have read the book and seen the movie like one in roughly inverse proportion to how much they like the other. |
