Almost inadvertently, though, this new documentary highlights what a mixed bag all those productions have yielded, with insights into where and how King-inspired productions shine, and where they haven鈥檛.

While Baiwir successfully underscores how prolific King and his adapted works remain, King鈥檚 expansive output presents a tricky hurdle for the director to connect the interviews and talking points to a cohesive throughline.

Rated: 2.5/5 •

Baiwir assesses King鈥檚 work through the medium of adaptation, turning for insightful commentary to nearly all the directors who have converted his writing to cinema, in a whistle-stop tour of this prolific, often prescient author鈥檚艙uvre.

The documentary never fully engages the viewer. Baiwir fails to impart her enthusiasm for King鈥檚 work and for the dedication of so many filmmakers who have helmed King adaptations.

North Shore Movies

In spite of its shortcomings, 鈥淜ing On Screen鈥� is a film that fans of the author and/or the film versions will find fascinating. Consider this the start of the conversation rather than the final word on the subject.

Rated: 3/5 •

Easy Reader (California)

鈥淜ing on Screen鈥� is more than the sum of its parts, so much so that you can forgive the director the lame imitation of King in her opening foray before she dives into the meat of the issue with the director interviews and fun film clips.

Even though I'm one of Stephen King's biggest fans I didn't enjoy this documentary as much as I wanted to. It was poorly directed and didn't give me much new information.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

A good documentary for those who love Stephen King's adaptations. It was a documentary in which I learned things I didn't know, learned the details of what I knew, and had very enjoyable details, especially regarding my research.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
