Eyes Wide Shut

1999 • Director: Stanley Kubrick
Warner Brothers
Starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

Is this psycho-sexual drama a stronger film because the lead roles are occupied by a married couple, or is it weaker because it's hampered by the limitations of Cruise and Kidman? Ultimately, both propositions are true. But Eyes Wide Shut transcends expectations, provoking thought and disturbing the emotions.
