The Door Reviews

movie review the door

Visually, there's an elegance to "The Door" that feels both a virtue and a limitation.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 21, 2013

movie review the door

Only cinemagoers who've enjoyed the cringe-worthy cine-sadism of watching train wrecks like Tommy Wiseau's The Room and Plan 9 from Outer Space could and should embrace this turd.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/5 | Jul 23, 2012

movie review the door

Without make up or any adornments, the haggard Helen Mirren cooks, cleans and growls her way through this intimate, well-handled two-hander opposite the equally able Martina Gedeck.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 20, 2012

This film is a failure on a catastrophic level.

Full Review | Jul 18, 2012

An absorbing and complex character drama, but one that's difficult to connect to at times.

There's something quite haunting about the relationship between the two women: in some surprising ways, this is a determinedly unsentimental work.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 18, 2012

movie review the door

Seems like a creative miscalculation by all concerned. The dialogue is clumsy in translation, the great director Istvn Szab seems to have lost his subtlety and his eye for performance

Full Review | Jul 14, 2012

movie review the door

The film has a formality and stilted quality about it that is distancing

movie review the door

Mirren and Gedeck shine but stirring Hungarian drama has its faults.
