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& #39;s movie without ever once looking Kubrickian. Cinematographer Michael Fimognari (HILL HOUSE) keeps it current, fresh, and 100% Flanagan.

(continued) Kubrick& #39;s mountains define his jagged-edged jarring narrative, but @FlanaganFilm& #39;s aerials are of vast fields and plains. Flanagan& #39;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.
