I am sure that at one time or another, everybody thinks, “If I had only made a different decision, about what life would have been and where I would be now”. There have been several movies like this with what-ifs. Sometimes people see the future and come back and correct it; some people never see the future. If you enjoy movies like “Happy Accidents” (2000), then you know the premise of this movie and will enjoy it also. There have been better and worse presentations. This presentation hits the mark.
Helen Quilley (Gwyneth Paltrow) makes it and does not make it to the sliding door of the subway. This is where the story splits into two parts, and we follow Helen as she is the victim and the captain of her fate. Luckily, the producers of this film split it into nearly 2 completely different stories, so we do not keep seeing two versions of the same thing as in the movie “Run Lola Run” (1998). Notice also that Jeanne Tripplehorn plays an excellent antagonist.
I am sure that you will enjoy this movie. You will find yourself kibitzing. And wondering what I would have done.
