When a reclusive billionaire (Donald Sutherland) hires a boy to read
aloud to him, an eerie bond is formed. Netflix's MR. HARRIGAN'S PHONE
is adapted from a Stephen King short story, and its attentive
craftsmanship nicely captures King's traditional ambiance. (N.B.: This
viewer also considers CUJO and DREAMCATCHER to be standouts among King
adaptations.) Recommended.

Great until the ending which was a little weak. Donald Sutherland put
in a masterful work.

To me, it seemed there should’ve been more to it. It seemed there were
story opportunities that were not taken, connections that could’ve been
made, potential developments that never went anywhere. It might be an
interesting short story, but stretched out into a movie. It just did not
work for me.

Well, endings are indeed not Stephen King's forte, imnsho.

Fwiw, I'd read the short story a while back, but don't recall anything
that was left out. I've read lots of King, and have come to accept that
he's about setting and mood rather than plot ...and I suppose I
appreciated how the filmmakers seemed aboard with that. (No, I didn't
find the short story exceptional, and am a bit surprised it received
what I consider a relatively high-end production.)
