I'm counting this as my first Christmas watch of the season because there were a ton of Christmas trees. Almost every scene had a Christmas tree. Also they went Christmas shopping.
The first time I saw this, I was 18, and I hated it. Today I really liked the first half, but honestly once the sex party happens, it loses me. It's not in a prudish way, it's just that I'd much rather watch Nicole Kidman than listening to that piano while Tom Cruise walks around ALMOST having relations.
PS: Very excited to see Vinessa Shaw from Hocus Pocus & Ladybugs

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hypnotic descent into desire and paranoia where a man's curiosity about his wife's confession unravels into a nightmarish exploration of lust, power, and secrets lurking beneath Manhattan's surface. Watching it is like being trapped in someone else's fever dream, beautiful, disorienting, and never quite solid ground.
