Eyes Wide Shut Rezensionen & Wertungen
- 0 129. Juni 2025Eyes Wide Shut, is a sharp social critique based on Arthur Schnitzler's 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story), transplanted from fin-de-siècle Vienna (a world Schnitzler knew intimately as a physician and contemporary of Sigmund Freud) to late 1990s New York. The film peels back the veneer of wealth and privilege to expose the moral decay, jealousy, exploitation, and self inflicted social turmoil within high society. In my opinion, it's one of Kubrick's best films. Kubrick forces the audience to confront questions: How much of our lives are performative? Who holds power in society? Can we ever fully know or trust our partners or ourselves? The movie has excellent music/sound and cinematography which enhances the feel as a thriller. some of the Plex reviewers don't seem able to understand the film or don't like the themes that are brought up. I guess they prefer Hollywood tropes. They should remember this movie is fiction.
- Mike11. Oktober 2024Eyes Wide Shut is a mysterious and dreamlike film that extracts curiosity out of the viewer "No dream is ever just a dream." Just like any other Stanley Kubrick film, Eyes Wide Shut has beautiful cinematography. The strong color contrast and strong compositions, combined with the nervous making score, result in a technically great and mysterious film. For me everything in the film evolved around the ritual scene, which is the key moment. The haunting song ‘Masked Ball’ by Jocelyn Pook makes it even better. The shots of the masked characters after the ritual are really powerful. The shots visualize multiple strong emotions, with a beautiful golden section composition, while maintaining a static image. The camera doesn’t move, the masked characters don’t move and the masks don’t have movement in their facial expressions. Yet the facial expressions of the masks are all very exaggerated and therefore very present, which moves the focus to the strong emotions on the masks. This focus gets further enhanced due to the close-up shots, black clothing and intimidating blocking of the masked characters that are breaking the fourth wall. This gives the viewer the impression the masked characters are looking at them from within their comfortzone. Letterboxd: Mike_v_E
- Christopher Hirsch24. Dezember 2025Interesting story about a satanic cult and a bystander who unknowingly walks into it. This entire film IS a satanic cult. The symbols are all laid out in plain view to see. Google it first and then watch the movie. I believe that Stanley Kubrick stumbled upon this kind of thing in real life, and since he didn’t have Christ to protect him, they killed him for it.
- Harry Mason28. Juni 2025Eyes Wide Shut? More like Eyes Wide Shit.
- Jay Mac File1. März 2026WoW! They gave their daughter away to a pedo cult in exchange for their lives. No wonder Kubrick was heart-attacked shortly after making this.
- ProfSolon10. April 2026The modern twist on this movie really just adds more depth and complexity. Can't stop thinking about it. A must watch.
- DTSaito7. April 2026I love this movie but I'm biased; I'm a Kubrick nut.. However, it's beautifully shot and mesmerising plus Tom and Nicole. A must watch..

- Mister Arn18. Mai 2025A solidly made film with some marvelous scenes and an interesting use of the piano in the soundtrack. However, I didn't enjoy the story, but I definitely liked the movie's last line.
- mickerdoo5. Juli 2025Sexy, scary and wonderfully designed. Bill can't escape the lust (good or bad). Kidman was directed too slow on dialogue. Dynamic coloring.
- Rowan Krzysiak31. Januar 2025If you're looking for Space Odyssey or even Clockwork Orange levels of Kubrick flair you're not gonna find it here. It's a fairly grounded direction of a rather dreamlike narrative. As a complex and layered look at the sex lives and desires of a married couple it is generally an uncomfortable watch but one that is likely to flicker in your thoughts every now and then from the end credits onward whether you're prepared to admit it or not.
- dbrownson21. Februar 2026Lots of boring parts - but when it’s on, it’s on.
- Anthony Galindo13. Februar 2026I could have spent my time better. What a complete waste of film. Goes nowhere. Tries really hard.
- Niztradamus8. Februar 2026What a let down... It starts slow, keeps at that pace and when you think shit is going to hit the fan it's already over without anything actually happening. Yes, as anyone knows it's about a cult but there is literally only one scene with the cult. Everything else is Tom Cruise walking around being melancholic or Nicole Kidman being an absolute b. The cult scene isn't even at the ending! As if the writers just forgot to include a showdown and an actual ending. Literally the last words spoken in the movie are "Let's just fuck." Who came up with this shite? It's an insult to have me sit there for 2.5 hours to conclude on "Let's just fuck." and not even include an actual ending. I never liked Kubrick and this movie just reminded me why I hate his movies.
- Alec McCartney5. Februar 2026Absolute drivel. Excruciating.
