The Cider House Rules

...beautifully enacted literary cinema, with the thoughtful, subtle Maguire a perfectly Irvingesque 20th century hero.

The Cider House Rules is often absorbing or enchanting in its parts.

Caine turns in a memorable performance as the doctor who tries to teach Homer how to make his mark in the world and Erykah Badu projects a strong presence in her screen debut.

The rapport between Larch and Homer is the film's strongest point and provides its most provocative and humorous moment.

Maguire flawlessly captures the nuances of this character - there isn't a moment when we don't see Homer as worth an investment of time and sympathy.
