It looks a little too much like a kids film, yet somehow I'm curious:

I am sooooo behind on my movies, but if I ever get a computer I'm going to watch this:

Reminds me a bit of "A Perverts Ideology".

Now the third time I've watched it, and every time I'm left puzzling "What was he thinking...?".
I'm not the only one. Theories abound, some more convincing than others. A marginally interesting take on it is "Room 237" (watch HERE)
There's a lot - I mean a lot - that clearly isn't accidental - Wendy and Danny watching the unplugged television, the turnaround of Danny confronting the ball being rolled at him, the Goofy V Wendy bit at the beginning, "Continuity Errors", only Kubrick didn't make continuity errors, and so there's something else going on, Jack Torrence, only seeing the ghosts in rooms with mirrors, Kubrick is masterful, he's sewn, sown the narrative with doubt and uncertainty, and every time I watch it I'm left wondering "What was he thinking...?".

The daughter's recommendation "It has the best villain EVER", and so I commit to season 1. And binge watch them all.
They're OK, I thought I recognized Martin Freeman from " The Office", and after later googling it realized it was him, although he's aged considerably. And Colin Hanks, others, and Billy Bob Thornton is a good (not great) villain. But, somehow it's...well, it sucks you in a bit, it's good, but the "folksy Minnesota humour" is done to death, what was charming done once in a movie is overdone in the series, in the end the real joy lay in recognizing locations around Calgary, largely Inglewood, and some of the outlying areas.
But it inspires you, there's no need for a big budget, this story could be told without the big names on a fraction of what it would cost to film most other TV shows, what is important is to know some talented people, have a good writer, some careful editing and directing, and you'll be off...
And so if there's a value to it, this is it.
