mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Dec 24 The cinematography is there, beautifully shot. The problem involves the audio, as the film was dubbed. This gives a very poor impression of the film, comes off as low budget and cringe. Truth is that it was low budget, but there are little indicators that you are seeing a filmmaker on the precipice of something bigger.

See more Yash B @yashbansal 04/04/2025 Stanley Kubrick left film lovers a truly unique filmography full of timeless classics that pushed the boundaries of their time. The last film I had left to see was one of his earliest, "Killer's Kiss." This movie is one of his shortest films but also my least favorite. I don't think a bad movie defines any filmmaker, and this movie has some merits in terms of how it was shot and put together. However, I just found it boring and not interesting and even just watching it for an hour felt a bit like a slog. Overall, it is a film that is worth seeing for Kubrick completionists, but I don't think there is enough for me to consider it a good film, but I am admittedly sad I have now seen all of Kubrick's films, but am excited to revisit some of the better ones down the line.

The plot is nothing special but it remains an enjoyable watch due to it's stunning photography.

The only real reason for anyone to watch this is because it was directed by Kubrick in all honesty. The story wasn't all that interesting, but I did like some of the choices he made when it came to telling it. Using that whole ballet sequence to undertone the sad story of Gloria's family was a nice touch. In fact that whole story was super dark, keep in mind Leave it to Beaver was almost canceled over a scene that showed a toilet. This same era, Kubrick talked about such a terrible way to die. The film also had relatively good cinematography. For example, Kubrick really captured the beauty of New York's nighttime by having the only lights come from the advertisements. It gave it a real Noir type feeling (which is good because it is a noir in case you weren't aware already). The final fight in the room with the mannequins, kind of reminded me of "A Clockwork Orange". That's really all there is to say, as everything else is pretty forgettable. Just a generic low budget noir, that is only good for folks who either love the genre, or Kubrick. 1.5/5 stars. See more Read all reviews
