Stylistically, Sliding Doors stars a strong female character. The setting is London and the USA. It happens in the 1990s.

Summary of Sliding Doors

A beautiful young English woman learns that she has been fired from her PR job. On the way home, the doors of a tube car close on her, opening the "what if" floodgates. She begins to live out two lives: if she had made the train, and if she hadn't. An intriguing concept about fate and how simple moments have the ability to change our lives.

Entertainment Weekly

The story is hackneyed, and the gimmick only doubles the dullardry. Full Review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Ultimately, Sliding Doors becomes a victim of its own cleverness, shutting down all that early promise. Full Review

Normally I like Paltrow, but this movie (said with a British accent) is bloody awful! It's s-o-o-o s-l-o-w. I fell asleep 3 times. And, "oh my what white teeth you have", how emaciated you've become! Oh well, maybe the next time. Read and rate it

The idea of this movie is amazing. How every piece of this puzzle called life fits together to create our reality. The story shows how a woman's life is dramatically different, depending on whether or not she catches a train home after getting fired... Read and rate it
