Two universes unfold in Sliding Doors, a romantic fantasy about alternate possibilities. Londoner Gwyneth Paltrow is shown in two scenarios, each propelled by the same incident. In the first scenario, she squeezes through the subway train's doors on time and catches her boyfriend fooling around. In the second version, she's stuck on the train and returns to her flat, none the wiser.
Ahh, the eternally beautiful Gwyneth Paltrow. what would movies be without beautiful women like her. Sliding doors is one of the best films that Gwyneth Paltrow has done. It has it all, humour, anger, sadness, love, compassion and a lot of lying. This movie is most special for the way the two storylines overlap, making this a very original movie. Paltrow's performance is grand as the 'hurt Helen' or the very 'naïve Helen', depending on which parts of the film you are watching. Some of her lines are priceless. Paltrow has had a very celebrated career in acting and of late singing and deserves all the accolades she gets. It was also refreshing to watch her in the murder thriller 'The perfect murder', along with screen legend Michael Douglas.
There are some other notably good performances. I love the British culture ,it has definately more class in humor and that makes the movie experiencing even more enjoyable.
Rating : 3/5
