DOCTOR SLEEP is more than a great adaptation of @StephenKing’s sequel. It is @FlanaganFilm’s love letter to THE SHINING, both the novel and the film. It adds King’s warmth & heart to Kubrick’s cold beautiful vision. It is fire and ice. And it just might be a perfect fucking film.

(continued) Somehow @FlanaganFilm also manages to make DOCTOR SLEEP his own. Like some kind of magic trick, it feels like Kubrick's movie without ever once looking Kubrickian. Cinematographer Michael Fimognari (HILL HOUSE) keeps it current, fresh, and 100% Flanagan.

(continued) Kubrick's mountains define his jagged-edged jarring narrative, but @FlanaganFilm's aerials are of vast fields and plains. Flanagan's is a smoother ride. You still need to buckle your seat belt but you enjoy the view so damned much you never want to get out of the car.
