One of the many toasts of last years Sundance film festival, Sliding Doors offers an interesting look at how the course of one's life can be totally changed by a seemingly insignificant event. Gwyneth Paltrow turns in a beautiful performance as the woman whose fate hinges on a small delay that causes her to miss her usual subway ride home. Without being confusing, the film hypothetically shows you the different paths her life takes both if she makes the train on time and if she doesn't. This overlap of the two stories is fascinating and causes one to ponder the little coincidences that often have a lasting impact on our own lives.
