"I must admit, it is an issue that is difficult to ascertain yet impossible to avoid. From start to finish, I never believed that Adrian could produce a work in the style of Kubrick, despite his excellence. There are essential differences due to differences in thought, lived experiences, and accumulated time. Kubrick's greatness lies in how he consistently pinpointed the darkest aspects of humanity and society in his films—a quality nearly unmatched. Yet today, it has been broken by a young director." —Washington Post
"It's clear that normal rules do not apply to Adrian. It's uncertain whether his 'Eyes Wide Shut' is what Kubrick intended, but it's also uncertain if it's not what Kubrick wanted. The film is so similar yet slightly different, making it impossible to make a definite judgment. The Miracle Director truly lives up to his name." —Variety
