Sliding doors is one of gwyneth paltrow s best films made when she was in several films a year just between emma and great expectations.
The movie stars gwyneth paltrow as helen a london publicity executive who is fired for no good reason and stalks out of her office in midmorning to take the underground train back home.
This was before she became an object of scorn and outright hatred for many people a stance which tells more about their pettiness than anything about the actress.
This film is a lightweight comedy drama with a unique story.
