A bit self-conscious and perhaps pretentious, but insightful and, at times, heartbreakingly beautiful meditation on fear, regret and desire.

Reviews had made me curious, but not excited. Possibly because of diminished expectations, I found it to be one of the most moving (and exciting) films I have seen in some time. It is also one of the most beautiful. My first reaction when it ended was that it was an excellent example of "sadder but wiser." On reflection, I think I would amend that to "sadder and wiser." I don't quite understand the critical antipathy. Like much of Kubrick, it will be reevaluated over time. Expand

I was certainly drawn to the father issues, interpersonal issues and sexual tension explored by this film. The photography was beautiful. I could watch it again.

Utterly incoherent narrative (director problem). Implausible relations between characters (writer problem). Unbelievable (as in NOT believable) depiction of characters (actor problem). As a film, this film has nothing going for it. AsUtterly incoherent narrative (director problem). Implausible relations between characters (writer problem).
