If the people speaking in this documentary were to be believed, The Shining is actually about the Holocaust, the American-Indian genocide, sexual liberation, sexual abuse, the destruction of society, the number 42, the ancient Greek legend of the Minotaur, all wrapped up in a confession about how Stanley Kubrick helped fake the moon landing. Also, you should watch it in reverse whilst simultaneously watching it normally, preferably with both projected over one another...

I'm not sure just how much I buy into any of that, but there's certainly some wild shit being thrown around in this documentary. Worth a watch, complimented with alcohol, or maybe even some of the Devil's Lettuce.

A good documentary on an underrated, and scarcely known subject. The soundtrack complements the themes and era perfectly, whilst adding tension and emotion to those who are somewhat uneducated on the matter. However, some may feel the political bias between Israel and Palestine somewhat hard to swallow if oppositional.

The great maestro himself would be proud of Ron Howard’s epic documentary as it hits all the right notes. Much like Luciano hitting 9 high C’s in one performance, Howard manages to find an incredible amount of warmth and humanity to put on display here.

An average Doc
Yeah so yet another documentary that falls firmly on the side of the parents being victims in all this.

I dunno what really happened and this doc serves only to tell you many different narratives while try to deflect you away from looking at the mum and dad.

"I’m still working my way through this two-disc set of whimsical documentary shorts by a filmmaker unknown to me until now. Droll, enchanting, and perfectly scaled for home viewing, they open a window on an aquarium that Paul Klee would have felt right at home in—were he, you know, a fish."

"I have yet to see the Broadway production, but it warms my heart to know this brilliant documentary from Albert and David Maysles has inspired such a thing. An example of how a personal relationship between the filmmaker(s) and subject can in fact benefit the film itself. Fascinating, funny, and sad."
