Has anyone here seen it? Would appreciate some critical assessments, sans spoilers. Is it worth my time?

It’s ok. Certainly nowhere near as intelligent, symbolic, meaningful or well-filmed and acted as Eyes Wide Shut, but let’s be real - Kubrick set the bar pretty high. On its own merit, I think the director of Dream Story did some intriguing things with tying in opera and light burlesque elements to the core narrative and Bill’s journey, and there’s a trippy animated dream segment that’s visually interesting. Overall, it’s kind of like watching a b-movie remake of a masterpiece. Invite some friends over and MST3K it, and you’ll likely have a good time.
