#doctor sleep #doctor sleep (2019) #2023filmgifs #my gifs #that was wonderful #such an excellent clever and sensitive adaptation #of such an important healing and deeply personal novel #i knew Flanagan would get it right #and even with the changes he made to the ending #i understood and accepted why he did #this ending is frankly what i expected from the book #but King was much kinder and much more focused on the healing #Flanagan chose to focus on justice for Wendy #because god knows Kubrick fucked her over completely #and i will never forgive him for that #so my fave line from the book had no purpose in the film and i got that #such fantastic well considered visuals #it was long and i loved every bit of it #it felt so well paced and true and faithful #and if Katie Siegel wasn't pregnant #she would have totally played Rose The Hat #i just know it #Rebecca Ferguson was amazing #everyone gave such good performances #and i loved the use of the score #i've been too afraid to watch this ever since i read the book #cos i was terrified of seeing Mrs Massey #but Flanagan got me through that with a sort of immersion therapy and i love him for it #this is why i watch horror #to look steadily upon the bad thing and survive
