Flawed, to be sure, but beautifully crafted, unimaginably complex, visually dazzling, rich with metaphor and deeply affecting.

Provocative movie suitable for teens.

At heart it's a terribly anguished expression of rejection, loneliness and love. If only it knew when to stop.
July 16, 2001
The most philosophical film in Kubrick's canon, the most intelligent in Spielberg's, and quite possibly the film with the most contemporary relevance that either one has made since Kubrick released Dr. Strangelove in 1964.
