Synopsis
The Door in the Floor (2004) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM — Tod Williams adapted the first third of John Irving's novel A Widow for One Year, and the result is quieter and stranger than a standard grief picture.
Jeff Bridges plays Ted Cole, a successful children's book illustrator whose marriage has been hollowing out since his two sons died in a car wreck. He hires a summer assistant named Eddie — a teenager with an unsettling resemblance to one of the lost boys. Ted thinks he's engineering his wife's departure. Kim Basinger plays Marion with a grief so locked down it's almost frightening. Jon Foster is Eddie; Elle Fanning has a small role as the couple's daughter Ruth, who watches everything and understands more than she should.
Bridges' Ted uses wit as a container for something he can't name. That makes him compelling and genuinely uncomfortable in equal measure. Stream The Door in the Floor (2004) online on iFILM.
