Review of Doctor Sleep (2019) by Richard Whittaker for Austin Chronicle — 06 Nov 2019
He's (Flanagan) never trying to one-up Kubrick or King. Instead, he's trying to push past his own best work, and he may well have achieved that in one supernatural scene that is as shocking and captivating as the fall of the bent-neck lady.
In honoring both Kubrick and King, Flanagan's greatest achievement is not being swallowed by the Overlook's shadow.
