Carlos I The 1998 film Sliding Doors might be dismissed by some as gimmicky due to its parallel narrative structure, but I personally found its central premise to be absolutely brilliant. It takes the familiar romantic comedy genre and injects a truly unique twist, exploring how a single moment can drastically alter two potential life paths. While the concept itself is captivating, it's ultimately the compelling performances, particularly from Paltrow, that elevate the film and make its bifurcated story truly resonate. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Joanna T Lovely movie!! I watched it bc the book "Maybe in Another Life" was inspired by this movie. I liked it but the ending was a little sad. The movie follows 2 parallel lives of the girl: one where she gets fired from her job and makes it onto the train, and one where she misses the train and it's too late to get on. In the one where she gets on the train, she comes home to find her stay-at-home boyfriend (or husband?) having sex with another woman. She runs into the funny guy who she met on train and they have a wonderful romance. He inspires her to start her own successful company. But one night as it was raining and she was crossing the road, a car hits her and she dies in her lover's arms. So that was too sad. In the one where she misses the train, in the end, she still finds her partner cheating on her because his mistress leads her to the mistress's apartment. Her partner never wanted her to find out and wanted to be loyal to her again. Afterwards, she runs into the funny train guy in the elevator and it's the start of their romance, supposedly. However, in this one, she doesn't start her own company but she instead works at a restaurant as a waitress. I guess there are many lives that we can lead depending on our decisions! They all have pro's and cons. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Brett C Apart from there being no such thing as "If", Paltrow is a Dog what never could act. How do you stop her creeping around my private corridors inside my Mind.... And who was the thing that said Mr Hannah could ever smever Act...... Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Rachel B I love this movie! I had watched it many many years ago, and always remembered liking it. Recently watching it again, it stood up to the test of time. I'm actually shocked it has such low ratings on here.
