The Portable Door
12 April 2023
Out of work Paul (Patrick Gibson) somehow managed to get himself a paid internship role at a mysterious company lead by the deeply strange Christopher Waltz and Sam Neill. When it is discovered that he has certain gifts, Waltz gives Paul a secret commission to locate a portable door, hidden somewhere in the building. All is not what it seems though and joined by new friend / colleague Rosie, a vast and dangerous adventure begins.

Whilst there are clearly Harry Potter influences here, this charming, fun and sometimes witty family adventure manages to stand on its own 2 feet. It isn't a big effects picture, but it's full of good set pieces, has a good story and Gibson is a strong lead with Waltz and particularly Neill, who is very funny in this, providing great support. Good fun.
