Watch Room 237 Movie Online No Survey

Watch Room 237 Movie Online No Survey Many movies lend themselves to dramatic interpretations, but none as rich and far ranging as Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. In LA filmmaker Rodney Ascher's ROOM 237, we hear from people who have developed far-reaching theories and believe they have decoded the hidden symbols and messages buried in the late director's film. Carefully examining The Shining inside out, and forwards and backwards, ROOM 237 is equal parts captivating, provocative and pure pleasure. It gives voice to the fans and scholars who espouse these theories, reworking the film to match their ideas and intercutting it with layers of dreamlike imagery to illustrate their streams of consciousness. Sometimes outrageous, always engaging, the words of the interviewees are given full force by Ascher's compelling vision. Also featured at the 2012 Sundance, Cannes and Toronto film festivals. Opens in March 2013 through IFC Midnight. (104 min.) Release Date Room 237 Mar 29, 2013 Limited

Review For Room 237
There's enough real evidence supporting the theory that Kubrick was a genius, and that's pretty entertaining all by itself. John Anderson-Newsday It's about the human need for stuff to make sense - especially overpowering emotional experiences - and the tendency for some people to take that sense-making to extremes. Ty Burr-Boston Globe The results can range from enlightening - Kubrick did like to mess with things - to embarrassing. But it's never dull. "Room 237" shines. Tom Long-Detroit News You don't have to buy any of the nutty theories in Room 237 to appreciate what director Rodney Ascher has accomplished. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald It's nuts, in the best possible way. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic Their imaginings are not far removed from the deconstuctionist gobbledygook that has hammerlocked academic film and literary scholarship. But here at least the gobbledygook is entertaining. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Termitic film nerds could chow down for years on the wood chips. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express You know when "Room 237″ starts getting really scary? When the people in the film start making sense. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Kubrick fans and movie geeks will want to check this film out as soon as possible John A. Nesbit-Old School Reviews Kubrick fans will take 'Shining' to 'Room 237.' James Verniere-Boston Herald The credibility of these theories ranges from faintly plausible to frankly ridiculous, but Ascher isn't interested in judging them; his movie is more about the joys of deconstruction and the special kind of obsession that movies can inspire. Marc Mohan-Oregonian Some of the interpretations seem more of a stretch than others but all are entertainingly presented by director Rodney Ascher. (The movie) serves as a testament to Stanley Kubrick's cinematic mastery. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest As fascinating as it is frustrating Bill Gibron-Film Racket It is nice to see a doc that makes you smile instead of making you angry. Anyone who is a fan of Stanley Kubrick will eat this up. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews Powered by a deep and abiding affection for both The Shining and Kubrick in general, Room 237 is an amuse-bouche of remix culture. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness Room 237 is an extended riff of the "Paul is dead" variety. But, you know what? Sometimes a guy moving a table in the background is just a guy moving a table in the background. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) A diverting excursion for lovers of Kubrick's films...even if, at over a hundred minutes, it does go on a bit long. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion A fascinating doc that will get both film geeks and conspiracy theorists alike drooling, it all but guarantees you'll never watch The Shining quite the same way again. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune Confounding, eye-opening, and often hilarious. Norm Schrager-Paste Magazine I suspect that Ascher's intention was to dynamize an academic exercise, but these constant, sundry inserts render the tone as corny and glib as a VH1 special.
