Critics Consensus Though it deviates from Stephen King's novel, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is a chilling, often baroque journey into madness -- exemplified by an unforgettable turn from Jack Nicholson. [Read Critics Reviews](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/shining/reviews) Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 10/20/2023 The supernatural joins forces with psychosis in Stanley Kubrick’s superb adaptation of a Stephen King bestseller. Go to Full Review Jay Scott Globe and Mail 08/16/2022 Kubrick sabotages his own thesis in the most knuckleheaded way conceivable: we can't be charged as accomplices in horror when there is no horror. Go to Full Review David Denby New York Magazine/Vulture 06/17/2022 There are a few terrific thrills, and some eerie moments of dislocation that only Kubrick could achieve, but most of the movie is unfelt, unscary, and bizarrely heavy-handed. It's the first pompous haunted-house movie. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Mar 19 5/5 ‘…one of the great cinematic spell-binders that’s somehow more than the sum of the various memorable parts…’ Go to Full Review Richard Freedman Newark Star-Ledger Jan 5 Nicholson gives the performance of his life here, subtly changing from a vaguely defeated family man to a maniacally leering American version of Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible. Go to Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Cinencuentro Nov 3 5/5 'The Shining' is many things, but in the strictest sense, it is a highly disturbing and expertly crafted experience that, more than forty years after its original release, remains as relevant as ever. \[Full review in Spanish\].
