Doctor Sleep Ratings & Reviews
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
A body of work that benefits from hindsight and reflection - unexpected pleasures for a horror movie, which must be why they feel so welcome.
Salon.com
Matthew Rozsa
"Doctor Sleep" feels like the logical continuation to Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of "The Shining."
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
I found it rather satisfying... Carl Lumbly channeling the wonderful Scatman Crothers? He's just so good.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
I think what I respected the most about Doctor Sleep is that it does feel like it's trying to be its own film for as long as it can.
Polygon
Charles Bramesco
Flanagan chose to make Doctor Sleep utterly banal. Through means straightforward and blunt, he's turned a surreal simulation of succumbing to insanity into a plainly stated reminder to always be true to yourself.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
An itch to play a few too many of the greatest hits softens the impact of the ride. But make no mistake: "Doctor Sleep" shines.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Part homage to Kubrick's moody atmospherics, and part hyper-literal superhero story, "Doctor Sleep" is stylish, engrossing, at times frustratingly illogical and, ultimately less than profoundly unsettling.
Denver Post
John Wenzel
From the opening shots and synth notes to a spectacularly chilling closing scene, Doctor Sleep makes a convincing case for its own greatness.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
The push to echo Kubrick works well in the limited early dose we're given, but ultimately the movie takes it too far.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Doctor Sleep is wonderfully reverent when it comes to Kubrick's film, but that means it can't escape The Shining's shadow, no matter how much King might have wanted it to.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
I only wish that Rose had been around when Jack Torrance was on the rampage. What a lovely couple they'd have made.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A tip of the REDRUM to Doctor Sleep and to Ewan McGregor's memorable performance for giving us the opportunity to catch up with Danny Torrance in a most satisfying manner.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Like poor Danny, the film cannot escape its ghosts.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
For all its missteps, including a comic-book tone at times, the film's humanity continually pulls you in.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
When it confidently hits its stride near the middle, "Doctor Sleep" is gripping.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Flanagan attempts to make both a faithful adaptation of King's new book and a direct descendant of Kubrick's film. But the two works are fundamentally incompatible, and in trying to accomplish both feats, 'Doctor Sleep' does neither one successfully.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' relies way too much on borrowed inspiration and eventually runs out of steam. But this flawed hybrid of Kubrick and Stephen King still has the stuff to keep you up nights.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
When a film with so much going for it -- from the first-rate cast to the meaty premise -- basically unravels and loses steam, it's a reminder that the challenge of wrestling one of King's epic books into a genuinely satisfying movie can be, well, redrum.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Hewitt
It's usually hard to quantify the quality of a movie, but in the case of "Doctor Sleep," it's easy: Precisely two-thirds of it is good.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Angelica Jade Bastién
Doctor Sleep could probably never fully stand on its own, and perhaps it's not meant to. It's a horror film with messy pleasures if you're able to meet it on its own level.
