Yes. However, it's good to have the right expectations. It does have a slow pacing, but I am definitely not among those who consider it slow. It has a lot going on in each scene. It was Stanley Kubrick's last film, and he crammed it with visual details and subliminal images and messages, as he did all his films. Between hidden messages the visuals and the dialogue, there's a lot going on in each scene.

It's solid dramatically, the two stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were literally married at the time, which is pretty wild considering the subject matter. There are a few scenes that are very intense if you are not familiar with the film.

But it does go at a slow pace. I would say if you can enjoy movies that are older or just a little bit slower, more slice of life stuff maybe, you will probably enjoy EWS. Not that it's slice of life.... but it kind of is.... it's a strange movie, very dreamlike. There's nothing quite like it. Stick with it. It goes places you're not expecting at the start of the film.

Worth watching if you're a fan of film.

Eh you're being hyperliteral

He didn't edit the ending then.

The film was incomplete when he died. The studio had to guess a ton of post-production decisions that would have been under the direction of Kubrick, same as all his other films. Mostly centered around the ending.

And it's super obvious when you watch the film

It's a weird movie to watch with friends, even if it's in a cinephilic setting.

Isn't she buttless in the movie too? Like, that's way more interesting for her than having her top off.

Great movie. One of my favourite psych thrillers. Mommy Kidman and Tom Cruise were firing on all cylinders there. And the added unintentional subtext of a marriage dissolving both in real time and in the movie was just the cherry on top
