SLIDING DOORS
This was better than I expected.
The film is about a girl who gets fired from her job and on the way home as she is walking down to the tube to catch her train a little girl makes her late and she misses her train but we also see what would happen if she caught the train. It splits her life up and we see both outcomes.
The movie is split into 2 story lines and we alternate between them both throughout the movie. Normally this would be confusing, but the lead character changes her hair in one of the story lines so it is easy to follow. I like the idea of this film. It was really well thought out and really well made. It is an interesting concept there are always moments in life where we say "what if ", well in this film we don't need to ask. We see both outcomes.
This was described to me as a romantic comedy, but the comedy was very little. I laughed out loud once maybe twice. It is a very entertaining movie, but not that funny. Yes it is romantic which normally makes me think it will be cheesy as hell, but this manages to avoid too much cheese. There are the odd cheesy moment, but nowhere near as much as most romantic movies have.
Sliding Doors stars a young Gwyneth Paltrow. She was very good in this film. She seemed to play the role very emotionally. She was very real. John Hannah & John Lynch also star. They both do decent jobs too. My favourite character was John Lynch's best friend he was always in the pub and laughing at his friends misfortune. He was the funniest character for me. Douglas McFerran was the actor.
The story was really good, the acting was good but the comedy was slow. There are some emotions for the characters anger, sadness, happiness you really see them all going through the motions and it is fun to see. It is funny to think that the guy from the classic TV show Bread, Peter Howitt, wrote and directed this.
I will give this film 7 out of 10.
