Pretty cool to see it but nothing remarkable. Would've liked to have seen a Kubrick interview in there somewhere. I mean, interviewing Danny Lloyd but not Kubrick? Come on.

Interesting behind the scenes stuff. It's particularly fun to watch Kubrick at work, as we rarely get to see him do what he does. He really seemed to be pissed at Shelly Duvall a lot.

Parts of this are interesting, as a you-are-there moment before some of the intense scenes. But there's a lot of mumbling, and there's really too much of the movie split in. Best moment: the crew, about to film the sequence in the maze, are themselves wrestling with a labyrinth of hallways to the various sets.

As a documentary, this more or less sucks. This is pretty much an EPK - cast interviews that don't shed a lot of light on the production, as well as clips from the movie that of course we've all seen. However, what makes this movie special is that, aside from the Full Metal Jacket clips in the "Stanley Kubrick's Boxes" doc, this is the only meaningful onset footage we have of Kubrick. Not "good" by any means, but who cares - we get to watch the Great Master at work.

More of a collection of behind the scenes footage (which is great) rather than a documentary (for which it lacks any sort of message or narrative).
