The Door

A successful artist loses control of his life after his young daughter's death. A chance for a new start appears, but all is not what it seems.

Without trying to fix the irreparable, the hero comes to the last exit from the situation, but the Universe gives a second chance and saves his daughter. But nothing is given for free. And too many people use the Door. Mads is an excellent actor and pulls this unusual time loop on himself. If you love, then.. (we write ourselves)
An interesting concept no doubt, 'The Door' just doesn't execute it all that well.
It starts off decently and I was interested in seeing where it would go. However, I feel like it lost its way very quickly and suddenly became rather underwhelming. The performances of Mads Mikkelsen (who's German was actually dubbed by Ingo Hülsmann, annoyingly) and Jessica Schwarz, while more than fine, don't set the film alight either - nor do any other elements of this 2009 release.
A disappointment all in all. Forgettable!
