Chris_Docker Review of The Cider House Rules

The Cider House Rules (1999)

Moral dilemmas presented in an easily digestible form

[7/10 · 27 March 2000]

Sentimental but well-told, visually beautiful and enjoyable story of an orphanage and the moral dilemmas of abortion, exploring emotional issues from leaving home and fatherhood, to first love, self-discovery and the burdens of responsibility. "Sometimes you have to break the rules to make things right."
