Reviews for Sliding Doors
Ultimately, Sliding Doors becomes a victim of its own cleverness, shutting down all that early promise.
A clever and satisfying comedy that comes as a blissful relief from more high-minded festival fare.
Great script, interesting camera work, superb acting. I can find nothing wrong with it, the more I think about it.
If you can let plausibility slide, this tale of two simultaneous realities created by catching/missing a train will be a fun ride.
This proposition from English writer-director Peter Howitt is not unique, but I have never seen a film that presents the idea so clearly, so cleanly, so provocatively.
The parallel storylines lend an originality that most other romantic comedies lack
Having to witness the doomed romance between Lynch and Paltrow play out twice over is nothing if not dull, as the events unfold with little nuance and few surprises.
The ending is not altogether satisfying, but it's certainly an original.
Unduly smug about its flashy conceit and otherwise utterly empty, the film plays like lobotomized Kieslowski, less Blind Chance than dumb luck.
The script is shrewd and inventive, combining wit, romance, and intelligent melodrama into a crowd-pleasing whole.
Too often in her past movies Paltrow has been cast as either an ice princess, a gloomy grump or a kook, and it's a relief to watch her get a crack at playing someone down-to-earth.
Deft enough to keep you wondering whether it's going to end on Track A or Track B.
Howitt's story stalls at that point, and from there on things quickly devolve into soap opera-like melodrama, with some disappointing character revelations and a preposterous ending.
