4 stars (Very Good) This film has beautiful photography (especially in scenes of Mason driving through the fog) and Peter Sellers is absurdly brilliant as Clare Quilty. Despite these assets, the film does tend to drag, especially in scenes absent of Quilty. ~dr.strangelove

5 stars (Exceptional) Full of intrugue and jet-black humour. An absolute pleasure to watch. ~Wizzums

3 stars (Good Enough) Dated. Fine acting by all, but the tension that should hold this famous story of sexual obsession is lacking. Perhaps Kubrick is not strong on complexity. One of his weaker films. ~Sandy
