  Gwyneth is absolutely charming. She absolutely makes or breaks this film. Without her, or with any other actress in her place, it would have faltered. The premise is kind of sophomoric but boy does Gwynie act her brains out.

  A cute little movie. I was interested to see how Lynch was going to do this but he did an excellent job. Thank God he made her 'look' totally different otherwise it would have been hard to follow. Cunning how he killed off the Helen we wanted to survive but then pulled it round at the end to have a happy ending where we presume she will still fall in love with James. Great performances.

• Spencer S

  
  It's surprising, romantic, depressing, and lovable. Can't find that in a lot of film, can ya? Paltrow delivers another British accented performance with her usual chutzpah.

  A great Rom-com with a good cast, I like the way it pans out to show something as simple as missing a train can change your life. Part of this was filmed down the road from where I used to live as well!

  i only watched half of this movie and it proved to be incredibly boring its just so slow paced and nothing that ive not seen before.

  Ever wondered how things could have turned out if you had / hadn't ended up with someone? Is there only one person for you? The movie follows Helen and two different sides of her life following a breakup. Excellent concept and story. Great cast.

• Anthony L

  
  I love it when people?s heads get hit by the tube doors. Unfortunately it didn't happen in this film! This kind of film has killed the British film industry!

  Romantic fantasy presents two alternate realities which hinge on whether or not a woman catches a London train. Unfortunately, neither storyline is particularly engaging. Very intriguing idea ultimately deteriorates into a dull melodramatic soap opera. Gwyneth Paltrow's performance as the woman who's life branches in two directions, is compelling, but Jeanne Tripplehorn as the "other woman" gives a distractingly bad performance. Bouncy pop soundtrack is a plus.

  I'm not sure why I liked this movie. It is hard to believe that missing the sliding subway door would have that much difference in your life. But it was interesting following the two realities. I'm glad she cut her hair in one of them otherwise I would never have been… More
  I'm not sure why I liked this movie. It is hard to believe that missing the sliding subway door would have that much difference in your life. But it was interesting following the two realities. I'm glad she cut her hair in one of them otherwise I would never have been able to follow it. The ending pissed me off, but they had to combine the realities somehow I guess.

  ?Sliding Doors? is a film that when released, finally made sense of those thoughts we all have of ?what if?? It?s a thought provoking piece which leads you to question, whether or not there is such a thing as destiny or fate and ponder many an alternative scenario. I actually prefer the basis of the story in this film to the Romantic Comedy side of things (no surprise there!) and Gwyneth was someone I found to be an interesting Actress around that time. Paltrow was one of the first American Actresses to come over to the UK and use an English accent, at the time I thought she did a good job, but on re-watching now, it does sound a little forced.

• Summer W

  
  I loved this movie. It's touches upon some of those philosophical deep thoughts that every one has but nobody really talks about. A little bit "chaos theory," a little bit "choose your own adventure."

• Leigh R

  
  Didn't get my attention.

• xGary X

  
  A promising concept that in skillful hands could have been fascinating stuff, but is in fact an extremely dull vehicle for the living flock wallpaper that is Gwyneth Paltrow. Zzzzzzzzzz

• Michael G

  
  It's a Wonderful Life meets Groundhog Day. Extremely clever.

  Everybody has at some time in life thought about what might have happened if they had made different choices in life. This movie tells a story about a girl who misses her train after she gets fired from her job. The movie shows both what happens and what would have happened if she would make it in time for the train. I loved this movie because it was very interesting and mindblowing. It is definetely watchable.

  Clever dual-reality romantic fantasy comedy posits the premise how radically different life might turn out as a result of different choices, even as in this case by missing the Tube by two seconds. Gwyneth Paltrow disappears into the lead role alternately playful and pissed off,… More
  Clever dual-reality romantic fantasy comedy posits the premise how radically different life might turn out as a result of different choices, even as in this case by missing the Tube by two seconds. Gwyneth Paltrow disappears into the lead role alternately playful and pissed off, Douglas McFerran steals each of his scenes.

• Andrew P

  
  This high concept rom/com is defenately worth a watch if not just for its style. The acting is fine, the story is fine, its all good just perhaps lacking something beyond the monotomous London backdrop that was needed to inject ssome colour into this flick.

• Patrick D

  
  It was pretty cool. You can't deny John Hannah of his charm, though. I feel they could have made it better though.

• Sarah B

  
  Underappreciated. John Hannah and Monty Python, what a great combination.
