About this product

Product Information

A beautiful young English woman (Gwyneth Paltrow) 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.

Additional Information
British actor Peter Howitt wrote and directed this British romantic comedy-drama with a 'road not taken' premise recalling the 1921 play IF by Lord Dunsany, Frank Capra's IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946). Howitt's storyline branches in two directions: Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) loses her job at a classy London PR firm, has a run-in with a purse-snatcher, and just misses catching her boyfriend Gerry (John Lynch) in bed with his former girlfriend Lydia (Jeanne Tripplehorn). But what if it were one of those days when everything goes right? As the sliding doors close while she stands on a subway platform in the London underground, Helen ponders the events in her alternate reality.
Reviews
Box Office - ...Both storylines are compelling and engaging....With a pleasing balance of comedy and drama, SLIDING DOORS is an exceedingly original comedy-drama that appeals to both the romantic heart and the philosophical mind..., Sight and Sound - ...The movie makes for demanding, cerebral viewing..., Entertainment Weekly - "...A lovely feeling for the power of chance..." -- Rating: B, Rolling Stone - ...The date-night movie of choice for incurable romantics.....Funny and touching..., Premiere - ...[A] delightful romance with a twist...

    Thought provoking alternative now exploration.

    I'm no film critic, but I really enjoyed this film.It can be taken at face value as an inventive rom-com, but it has deeper philosophical connotations- making you think about predestiny, free-will, the possibility of multiverses etc. You hardly notice the acting, so it must be good. Intriguing. Excellent. Thoroughly recommended.
