Eyes Wide Shut

About This Movie

The pacing is deliberate, almost dreamlike, which makes the viewer feel every moment of Bill's spiraling obsession. The performances are something else, especially Kidman—she brings depth to Alice's fantasies. And you can’t help but notice the practical effects, from the lavish set designs to the eerie lighting that gives everything that surreal edge. It’s a film that lingers with you, leaving you to ponder the fragility of trust and the complexity of human desire long after the credits roll.
