| This movie will make you think a lot
This movie will make you think for years on end, Just that one little thing could change your life for good.

This movie is running to stories of Helen Quilley who has just been fired of her work place for drinking the night before has she rushes to the train station, while go down the stairs a little girl get in the way and she goes around girl and train door shut in face.

Then we see the movie rewind and she back on top the stairs this time mum pulls the girl way from wall so she can get past, just about got on to the train, in this scene we can she her on train also on outside train.

From here we see both side of stories, we see how life would have been if she did catch the train and we can also see what would have happened if she missed the Train.

The movie was well written and Gwyneth Paltrow is was outstanding in this movie.

8/10 ending was disappointed but it better then ending i was thinking of.

Trivia

Film director Agnieszka Holland considers the film to be a botched copy of the Polish film Blind Chance (1987) with all the "philosophical depths and stylistic subtleties stripped away".

Quotes

Helen: I come home and catch you up to your nuts in Lady Shagging Godiva!

Goofs

After having her cut treated at the hospital, Helen returns to the flat. She finds Gerry is not yet dressed and asks if he has only just gotten up, adding that it is 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Earlier she went to work and was immediately fired, attacked whilst hailing a taxi and taken to hospital, after which she went home. Even allowing some time for travel, it is still unlikely that she was at the hospital for 6 hours.

Alternate Versions

US version was cut for language by Miramax to secure a PG-13 rating.
