What a piece of shit, it even tries to tell the audience that the the moon landing was faked...

IF anything, this movie opened my eyes to the exciting world of rambling maniacs. It's a real (crazy) achievement when you can say you've paid more attention to detail than Kubrick ever did.

Not good at all.

This came off as the rambling of lunatics to me. Maybe I'm just a skeptic...

Strangely engrossing despite the obviously unhinged commentators. I know kubrick never put something in a shot unless it was meant to be there, but really....

Surprised that people didn't like this as much as I did. My only gripe is that they gave so much time to the guy who thought the Apollo landings were faked.

Yeah, save yourself the time... you can read up on some of these on Wikipedia. The documentary is basicly somebody talking about his experiences/theories about the movie with footage being shown on the screen which imho doesn't work for a feature film. Dat Minotaur.

Gotta love the crazy theories in this "documentary". Kubrick faking the Apollo 13 moon landing lol. There are some real nutcases in this one. Good for a laugh.

Stanley Kubrick fans be crazy; Exhibit A, Room 237. This documentary looks at several unconventional theories about the hidden meanings in Stanley Kubrick’s classic horror film The Shining. The theories include messages about the genocide of the American Indians, the Holocaust of Nazi Germany, and the Moon Landing Hoax (and these are the tamer of the theories presented). But however absurd the ideas are, the film does a good job at backing them up with footage from The Shining. Yet, a lot of the so called evidence can be explained away as continuity errors and coincidence. Still, Room 237 is well-crafted and its zany theories are a bit of fun (if not taken too seriously).

Entertainment for the YouTube generation. Expect ridiculous claims.

It might be a piece of shit, but holy shit was I entertained! I love this stuff!

While something's definitely not right about Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining", I don't think I can buy any of the conspiracy theories presented in "Room 237". This documentary is entirely frustrating. All of the presenters come off as twisted or at the very least, trying too hard to discover something...anything, that explains the strange imagery that Kubrick put in his film.

What is most disappointing is that the filmmaker seems to be making fun of the people it is documenting. It's practically snarky and it wouldn't have been a stretch if the director had filmed himself snickering at the conspiracy theorists.

Maybe I need to give this another viewing. The idea of "Room 237" is so intriguing because "The Shining" is so strange. I really wanted to discover some hidden message that lives within its run time but "Room 237" didn't deliver it.
