Other Worlds Than These topics:

Critical reception links:

Roger Ebert: 4 out of 4 stars with a unique look at whether any character is a reliable witness.
Pauline Kael: “Each shot seems rigorously calculated, meticulous, and he keeps the scenes going for so long that any suspense dissipates…the actors appear to be merely Kubrick’s tools, and you get the feeling that they have been denied any free will.”
