Inelegant in the way it assembles all this stuff ... but anyone who's ever obsessed over the subtext of a beloved movie will find it amusing.

A curious and entertaining documentary.

An intellectual exercise, and an entertaining one, especially for those who don't want to label The Shining as just a ghost story.

Room 237 is about bringing a text to life through an active, prolonged, playful, or even tortured relationship to it. It's a document of immersive obsession.

Room 237 isn't about The Shining or the Holocaust or the slaughter of Native Americans or the moon landing. It's about people finding order in chaos.

The human brain is a marvellously suggestible organ.

"The Shining" is the perfect launching pad for a movie about obsessive film theorists because Kubrick attracts theories like lint and this film is perhaps his most stubbornly mystifying work.

"Room 237" evolves from an ode to movie love at its most delirious to a wry examination of the crackpot mind at work.
