Title: Utter...
Review: Let me first state that I highly enjoy movies with an intellectual stimulus and that actually make you think beyond the roll of the credits.This is not what this movie is.What it is, is garbage. There's no intellectual quest, emotional investment, or discovery of character. It's an excuse to produce a film of nothing but people walking around naked in highly-unbelievable sadomasochitic bliss. If this version is Kubrick's actual intent, then shame on him. Tom Cruise is at his worst. There's nothing enjoyable or even redeemable about his character. He's just trite and boring. Kidman fares somewhat better, given the material. Ironic that after their divorce, her movies get better (bordering on brilliance) and his get worse."The difference between pornography and erotica is lighting," said Gloria Leonard. This movie is neither. It's lining for the litter box.
Is the review positive or negative?
