Rated The Shining 5/10

Jack Nicholson is amazing and the sets/style/cinematography work really well. It's a superlative film in many ways.

But it wasn't that entertaining for me. The cello screeches every time anything happened were amazingly, distractingly annoying, and the plot and characters just seem excessively shallow. There's over two hours of runtime and only really three characters we care about, but the closest to character development we get is realising that Jack's a dick.
