The Cider House Rules: Cloying, Sanctimonious, and Unbearably Shallow
When Sentimentality Smothers Substance Lasse Hallström’s cloying, simpering direction grates on my nerves. His 1998 feature Chocolat was arguably the nadir of his soft-focus, soft-headed romanticism. Hallström favors simple emotional beats over shading or moral complexity. He likes his dramas black and white—no gray, no grit, no blood. It’s drama for toddlers, scrubbed clean of anything that might sting.
