Summary

A documentary exploring obsessive and esoteric interpretations of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Through voice-over commentary layered over footage from the film and other Kubrick works, several enthusiasts lay out their wildly divergent theories about hidden meanings, from allegories of the Native American genocide and the Holocaust to claims that Kubrick helped fake the Apollo moon landings.

Room 237 (2012) is a film IMDb files under the documentary genre.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 746 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 146 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 149 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus.
