Helen, a London ad executive, is fired from her job and rushes out to catch a train, but, as she runs down, her life suddenly splits off. In one version she catches the train; in the second, she misses it. Her whole life changes in that one second, and the rest of the film depicts what happens in each scenario.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's not so much the tale itself as the slippery interplay between characters that makes Sliding Doors enjoyable.

Ultimately, Sliding Doors becomes a victim of its own cleverness, shutting down all that early promise.

rotten:
Once the movie throws in a jolting, late-in- the-game plot twist that could have been borrowed from City of Angels, it never regains its balance.

Gwyneth Paltrow is engaging as the two Helens, and I have no complaints about her performance. Pity about the screenplay.

Take a supernatural premise, sap cinematic magic of any kind and the result is Sliding Doors.
