Room 237

This is a brilliant documentary on more than one level. Not only is it near-perfect in it's construction, using voice over and footage from every film in Kubrick film instead of straightforward talking heads. Room 237 is ESSENTIAL viewing for anyone serious about about film, especially Kubrick fans. If you think The Shining is just a basic, straight forward, horror flick, think again. This documentary will open your eyes (and your thoughts) to multiple theories presented throughout the classic horror film. Some are absolutely mind-blowing, while others are a bit of a stretch. But ultimately, this is for fans of film or anyone looking for a good documentary. No, a GREAT one. Thought provoking, endlessly fascinating, eye-opening, thought-provoking, and obviously made with great care and exuberance. Room 237 is nearly as great as the subject of which it explores. Don't miss it!
