"Eyes Wide Shut" is a psychological thriller directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The film explores the themes of jealousy, desire, and sexual obsession, as a married couple confront their own inner demons after one of them confesses to having sexual fantasies.

The movie's slow pace and surrealistic imagery might not appeal to everyone, but it successfully builds an intense and unsettling atmosphere that keeps the viewer engaged. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman deliver strong performances, adding depth and complexity to their characters.

Overall, "Eyes Wide Shut" is a thought-provoking film that challenges the audience's preconceptions about love, lust, and the boundaries of the human psyche. While it may not be Kubrick's best work, it is a mesmerizing and unforgettable cinematic experience that leaves a lasting impression. If you are a fan of Kubrick you probably already have seen this, otherwise you should put it on your watch list immediately. The same goes if you have a celebrity crush on Kidman.
