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......

Recently watching it again, it stood up to the test of time. I'm actually shocked it has such low ratings on here. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Eli M I love this movie. I think it is clever and fun. Gwyneth Paltrow is amazing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review John A Maybe if the lukewarm script fell into the hands of an ambitious director with distinct style, 'Sliding Doors' would be a clever little love triangle dramedy. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Our life is full of sliding doors for many different paths Gwyneth Paltrow and John Hannah in a love story almost like 'Lola's Run' Helen is a London as executive who sadly gets fired The film ends up showing two different timelines of her getting on the train and missing it In one instance she catches her boyfriend in bed with another woman While in the other she comes home explaining her bad day almost getting mugged In the midst of it all she meets a man named James and might end up falling for him after discovering her own boyfriends shady behavior growing more miserable by the second I thought this was ok and it feels gimmicky given the split-narrative Life can easily change in an instant for better or worse, we can expect a different outcome from the same choices, should we spend time wondering about the what ifs Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
