I enjoyed the movie, too. Good acting; a suspenseful, enigmatic plot; thoughtful direction...

I'm disconcerted with comments like Victor's below to the effect that the "orgy" scene was slow-moving, or that the actors in that scene moved in "walking-dead" fashion. The scene is meant to seem dream-like, and those qualities help Kubrick achieve that. Notice that the Nicole Kidman character in fact dreams an "orgy" very much like the one her husband has just been kicked out of.

Such cleverness (of which I think EWS is full) on the director's part doesn't necessarily add up to a good film, of course. In EWS, though, it's a kind of playful invitation to look at the film more closely. I suspect EWS will gain appreciation as time wears on.
