The
Kings of New England...
The
art of well-paced and powerful storytelling is
manifested in this movie. There are no
explosions or chases or catastrophes here...
just a story of an boy, the orphanage he grew up
in, and the relationships in his young life. The
issues in this film are profound, and dealt with
superbly. It is a sweet story that doesn't feel
the need to rush the viewer from one plot point
to another. I highly recommend 'The Cider House
Rules'.

This film
garnered 7 Oscar nominations and 2 wins, most
notably for Michael Caine's magnificent
performance. Scripted by John Irving based upon
his own novel, the film beautifully captures the
story of a young boy growing up in an orphanage
and his life beyond the orphanage. "The Cider
House Rules" is a quiet, sweet and beautiful
film with stellar cinematography and assured,
controlled performances throughout.
