The Nicole bashing is way out of line, IMHO.I think she was deserving of a Best Actress nod this year for EWS.
As far as Kubrick films are concerned, it was interesting and suspensful.
As far as the sex, I wasn't going to this film expecting a porn flick, and I didn't get one. No harm, no foul.
Hey, I liked Cruise too. And Kubricks wacky music and camera work were great.

Time will tell with this one.
I thought Kidman was the best part of the film and that was good! She was appropriately moody and dreamy and mysterious. I thought Cruise was pretty bland and the suspense kinda fell down towards the end. A little preachy about the whores.Not nearly as bad as Victor thought but not worth buying. Will rent.
Maybe buy someday on sale. ((A Kubrick fan))
I enjoyed the movie, too. Good acting; a suspenseful, enigmatic plot; thoughtful direction...I'm disconcerted with comments like Victor's below to the effect that the "orgy" scene was slow-moving, or that the actors in that scene moved in "walking-dead" fashion. The scene is meant to seem dream-like, and those qualities help Kubrick achieve that. Notice that the Nicole Kidman character in fact dreams an "orgy" very much like the one her husband has just been kicked out of.
Such cleverness (of which I think EWS is full) on the director's part doesn't necessarily add up to a good film, of course. In EWS, though, it's a kind of playful invitation to look at the film more closely. I suspect EWS will gain appreciation as time wears on.
