The Door in the Floor
Is "The Door in the Floor" just the title of a children's book or more?
Jeff Bridges and Kim Bassinger give strong complex performances as damaged souls in this tragic tale of a dysfunctional family with a dark secret. Each take on new partners during a trial separation period. Elle Fanning, Dakota's younger sister, is charming as the daughter caught in the middle trying to understand the family's pain. This serious drama uses creative touches of humor to balance this film. If you are bothered by nudity and sexual images, this R rated film may not be for you. In the end, this disturbing movie left Alien unsettled and unsatisfied.
Alien gives it 2 metaphorically-mysteriously-titled-movie stars out of 4.
