Based on a Stephen King book (a darn good one), DOCTOR SLEEP is a sequel to The Shining, both the novel *and* the Kubrick adaptation that King despises. To accomplish that merger, the last quarter of the movie diverges from the book. The changes work, and even improve the ending, but in so doing sacrifice some of the emotional resolutions I remember from the novel.
Anyhow, it's good. Real good. Ewan McGregor is top notch, and so is Rebecca Ferguson as the evil Rose the Hat. Be forewarned that a very disturbing murder from the book is even worse when acted out on screen, and is not for the faint of heart.
Get past that, and you're in for a treat.
