Review of The Shining (1980) by Tgexpress — 26 Aug 2020
For whatever reason it's taken me nearly 40 years to see this movie. I was familiar with all of the iconic scenes. But had never watched it in it's entirety. I now consider this a total failure of my youth.
The Shining is my favorite of Kubrick's movies - and it ages incredibly well (unlike perhaps 2001 where the startling special effects are no longer so startling 50 years later). I'm not sure this is a horror movie, what I am sure of is that it is one of the greatest movies of all time.
Brilliant. Kubrick is peerless amongst directors.
