From the 35mm Kubrick festival I just returned from:
I loved most of it, though the beginning portion didn’t feel particularly special. Nothing bad, and the last bit was superb.
Haven’t seen this in a long time, so there was a lot of great humour I didn’t remember. I think it’s one of Kubrick’s best films, even down to the end credits being timed to the music. That is, out of his films I have seen so far.
I liked the second half of this a lot better this time around. I suppose it’s because I knew what was coming, but it grew on me now anyway. Certainly flawed, and not anywhere near my favorites of Kubrick’s work, but great nonetheless.
