Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
The Door in the Floor's leads have remained largely and woefully under-appreciated actors... Here, they both give career best performances.

Rating: 5/5 --
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.
Cinema em Cena
The characters are exceptionally well-drawn, and the actors shine.
Movieline's Hollywood Life
Not one enigmatic person in The Door in the Floor asks to be liked, but you like them anyway.

Observer
[Williams] handles all of the elements of the story...with an equally sure hand.
Premiere
Jeff Bridges has long been one of the greats of American film acting....[Basinger's] performance is delicately filigreed and, along with Bridges', it makes THE DOOR IN THE FLOOR an unassuming pleasure.
Los Angeles Times
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.
New Yorker
Product Description:
Delicately balancing a young man's coming-of-age with a married couple's experience of trauma and loss, this adaptation of John Irving's A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR compares with THE CIDER HOUSE RULES as a successful and faithful adaptation of the popular author's work. The film details a summer of trial separation between husband and wife Ted (Jeff Bridges) and Marion (Kim Basinger), whose union was shattered by the loss of their two sons. Though they have one remaining daughter (Elle Fanning), Ted--a popular author--hires a greenhorn writing assistant, a young man named Eddie (Jon Foster). Expecting to learn writing from a master, Eddie is little more than a glorified chauffeur for his accomplished idol. However, Eddie receives some useful lessons in manhood from the beautiful yet emotionally distant Marion, as an obsessive crush blossoms into passionate first love. While the family's scenic estate in the Hamptons provides an illusion of contentment, the tension between Ted, Marion, and Eddie only builds. Meanwhile Eddie struggles to understand the reasons for the family's painful disintegration.
The strength of writer-director Tod Williams's adaptation lies in the complexity of its characters, who are given depth by a talented cast that also includes Mimi Rogers. With the narrative unfolding like a mystery, viewers have the refreshing opportunity to unravel the details of this intricate story.

The Door in the Floor
Movie Lover: mel surbrook from
DANDRIDGE, TN US -- May, 18, 2016
The movie is roughly 1/3 of the book and does the story justice; you must watch it more than once because it is story is presented under the surface.
The movies made from his books I rank as follows:
1. Door in the floor
2. World according to Garp
3. Hotel New Hampshire
4. Cider house rules
Rules was a disappointment because the original story is much more rich in both character and breath and whoever wrote the screenplay missed the focus of what Irving was creating.
