[Jeff Bridges] struts around like a peacock trapped in a burning house...August 07, 2004
Since when are dullness and realism synonymous?July 11, 2010
Complex, candid, and satisfying "The Door In The Floor" beckons back to the socially provocative American films of the late '60s and early '70s. It is an adult drama with characters you sympathize with in spite of their immoral behavior.March 03, 2005
an alternately amusing and tragic portrait of post-traumatic eccentricity, focusing on two parents who are unable to get over the loss of their two sons after a car accident.October 01, 2005
Williams (...) toma decisiones extrañas que no hacen crecer la película en términos dramáticos.September 17, 2004
One of the best Irving adaptations, a movie with a sad soul and something to say about that state in us all.August 01, 2004
A fundamentally depressing piece of work -- not because it deals with tragic events and memories but because the characters seem hapless and even stupid, and the writer-director can't, or won't, take control.July 29, 2005
A direção de Tod Williams, além de abrir espaço importante para a força das atuações do elenco, destaca-se por não ter medo do silêncio.July 23, 2004
More than once during the movie, you'll find yourself thinking 'Who are these people, and why am I sitting here watching them?'January 21, 2005
Jeff Bridges is perfect as the dissipated, amoral, wise, foolish writer.July 23, 2004
I can't say I minded the movie too much, but I can't say it ever grabbed me, which is how I feel about every other movie adapted from an Irving novel.
