I was overtaken by the emotion. Unforgettable rendering of a wartime story which is unknown to most people. The performances were faultless and outstanding.

This film touched me. Needless to say the depth of it's depravity is shocking and harrowing but, at the same time, honest and brutal to the max. Alas,there are few films that tackle the subject of emotional vulnerability so truthfully and even fewer films that do so with such force. I say "vulnerability" because i believe these two characters - George and Martha - are wounded souls that have come to live in an unreal world because of their propensity to explore the outer boundaries of human emotional experience. Score 10 out of 10 for Liz's performance and 9/10 for all three other actors. I want to say something like "a truly wonderful film" but really, it sure aint for everybody. See it if you want a mind fu**ing trip into the decaying marriage you never want to have.

for how long did man stare at and contemplate the moon? for how long has man stared at and contemplated the universe? for how long have we pondered the "meaning of life"?? this film IS a masterpiece in all it's dimensions. it asks more questions than it answers and that is true art, in any medium. kubrick tackled many diverse subjects in his long and colourful career but none so controversial or profound as this - the treatment is superb, the length appropriate and the subject matter astounding. my partner saw it today...her response?? " I dont get it. it's two hours too long!!" there you go - human diversity, where would we be without it? where indeed ??
