Review of Room 237 (2012) by Da Z — 25 Apr 2013
Room 237 is comprised of several analyses of The Shining, in addition to other Kubrick films, related to sociology, psychology, philosophy, and conspiracy theories. Most of what is stated in the documentary can be considered insignificant, due to its heavy reliance on everything being a matter of interpretation.
In this sense, everything in The Shining has meaning, if and only if you look hard enough. Some of the scholarly views expressed are brilliantly delineated and others are nothing more than crazed conspiracy theories.
In this sense, Room 237 is inconsequential as a whole. However, it remains to be an intellectually stirring and entirely welcome revisit to the Overlook Hotel.
