Based on John Irving's best-selling novel, A Widow for One Year, The Door in the Floor explores the complexities of love in all its brightest and most mysterious corners.
Successful children's writer and illustrator Ted Cole (Jeff Bridges) invites 16-year-old writing intern Eddie (Jon Foster) to summer in the privileged beach community of East Hampton, where he lives with his beautiful wife Marion (Kim Basinger) and their young daughter Ruth. Ted and Marion are still recovering from the death of their two teenage sons some years before and as a result their marriage is under great strain. Eddie, invited for the summer largely because of the physical resemblance he bears to one of the boys, is inevitably drawn into their deteriorating relationship, becoming an unwitting yet willing pawn and ultimately, the catalyst in the transformation of their lives.

This excellent film does two superb things: it brings alive (admittedly one third of) a John Irving novel and it puts the brilliant Jeff Bridges smack in the middle of it. Purists might argue about only adapting part of the novel, but the story is wonderfully told, very moving (even without the novels endgame) and superbly acted. Superior filmmaking all round. Well worth watching.
