The Door in the Floor Reviews |
“The Door in the Floor” is a fragment passing itself off as a whole, and, for all its handsomeness and its occasional moments of piercing intelligence, it’s a fundamentally depressing piece of work—not because it deals with tragic events and memories butbecause the characters seem hapless and even stupid, and the writer-director can’t, or won’t, take control. [read review]
--David Denby (The New Yorker)
As a character study that examines a pair of reprehensible individuals, The Door in the Floor does an excellent job. The problem with the film is simple: how many people want to spend nearly two hours in the company of such characters. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
It may not be a perfect movie, but it moved me. It could make audiences wince and they might not respond favorably to the sexual humor, but you have to admire Williams’ attempt at preserving Irving’s work rather than softening it. [read review] 
--Collin Souter (eFilmCritic.com)
It is an impressive film from the get-go, boasting strong acting and a bold story. And it works, for about an hour. But, during its final fifty minutes, the picture experiences a steady decline, and winds up unsatisfying. [read review] 
--Danny Baldwin (BucketReviews.com)
Williams tells the tale though with Irving’s quirks intact and has Bridges to pick up the slack whenever it falters. Every film should be that fortunate. [read review]
--Erik Childress (eFilmCritic.com)
If there's a true reason to see the film, it would be Jeff Bridges, who once again proves how masterful an actor he is with another terrific performance. [read review] B
--Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.com)
Rogers gives a brave performance, but there isn't much chemistry between Bridges and Basinger, who were teamed to better effect in 1987's "Nadine." [read review] 
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
A goatish Jeff Bridges and a sex-starved Mimi Rogers. A hot Kim Basinger and her horny teen lover. So what went wrong? [read review]
--Charles Taylor (Salon)
Dark cinema, but also perceptive and revelatory in exploring how an ill-fated couple struggles to cope with tragedy. [read review] 86/100
--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
This is an elegant production, with that Oscary, literary adaptation, "prestige picture" feel. [read review]
--Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
