Sliding Doors, 1998 - ★★½ (contains spoilers)
This review may contain spoilers.
Well my goodness, but this is a strange old film. I've known about it and kind of wanted to watch it for years, because I knew it was about alternative realities, paths not taken, that kind of thing.
What I didn't know is it's also a romcom. Or two. Of sorts.
And a tragedy. I mean, spoilers, but…
What were they actually trying to make here? Part of me thinks the idea was, 'Hey, what if we have a romcom but tragic, and the heroine dies at the end?' And the studio, or co-creators were, like, 'No way.'
'Unless…'
And you end up with two romcoms. Sort of.
