Leave your thoughts about Sliding Doors.
| SPLICEDWireRob BlackwelderColorful and energetic, Sliding Doors balances its two stories with such smooth dexterity that is has no problem even overlaping them occasionally, just for fun. |
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandThis proposition from English writer-director Peter Howitt is not unique, but I have never seen a film that presents the idea so clearly, so cleanly, so provocatively. |
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryGreat script, interesting camera work, superb acting. I can find nothing wrong with it, the more I think about it. |
| Critics Inc./America OnlineBrandon Judella clever conceit, but it's one that eventually wears out its welcome. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeOne of the most purely pleasurable, delicious films currently available. |
| Dallas ObserverJean OppenheimerSo inventive, confident, and accomplished is the production that it's a shock to learn Sliding Doors is the work of a first-time director-screenwriter. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliOne 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. |

| MovielineStephen FarberA clever and satisfying comedy that comes as a blissful relief from more high-minded festival fare. |
