Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
One of the best Irving adaptations, a movie with a sad soul and something to say about that state in us all.

rotten:
Since when are dullness and realism synonymous?

rotten:
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.

Not one enigmatic person in The Door in the Floor asks to be liked, but you like them anyway.

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.
