- Critics' reviews
-
-
"One of its most obvious strengths is that it can satisfy many different types of audiences -- those who demand something substantial from their motion pictures, and those who could care less"
-
"A frothy, lightweight romantic comedy that strives to seem richer and more complex than it really is."
-
"In a finely realized and multi-layered first film, writer-director Peter Howitt treats us to a clever and urbane exploration of the monumental repercussions of tiny twists of fate."
-
"That neither tale is especially interesting doesn't matter -- the contrast alone is enough to make 'Sliding Doors' an irresistible romantic fantasy"
-
"Unfortunately, once the freshness of the concept wears off, the same premise starts to feel mechanical and willful."
-
"You're hooked enough to keep watching, even if the characterizations veer toward the two-dimensional."
-
"Ultimately, Sliding Doors becomes a victim of its own cleverness, shutting down all that early promise"
