Vivian Kubrick, Stanley's daughter, picks up a camera to document the production of one of cinema's most enigmatic works. We are granted access to the freshly painted maze of the Overlook Hotel sets, witnessing a genius at work in his natural habitat. The lens captures meticulous preparations for complex scenes, rehearsals with Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, and rare, almost casual moments with Kubrick himself as he explains his methods. This is more than a standard behind-the-scenes report; it's an intimate portrait of a creative process, revealing the obsession with detail that lurked beneath the director's controlled demeanor.

The film serves as a unique cipher, decoding not just 'The Shining,' but the mind of Kubrick himself. Vivian's familial access allows for a warmth and candor rarely seen in making-of documentaries, stripping away the myth to show the man at work.
What lingers after viewing is the profound contrast between the serene, almost mundane production moments and the terrifying final product. It’s a masterclass in directorial obsession captured with innocent clarity. — MovieFinder Editorial
