Reviews for Sliding Doors
Paltrow is delightful as the trendy Londoner running parallel lives and has a disturbingly accurate English accent.
This should go down a storm with folks who still cherish the hope that the solution to all their problems is just around the corner or in the next lift.
a clever conceit, but it's one that eventually wears out its welcome.
A thinking person's romantic comedy -- but, hey, don't let that frighten you away. It's also lots of fun.
Paltrow gives the first credible evidence since Emma that her career may last.
It's not so much the tale itself as the slippery interplay between characters that makes Sliding Doors enjoyable.
With a pleasing balance of romance, comedy and drama, Sliding Doors is an exceedingly original story that appeals to both the heart and mind.
