Gwyneth Paltrow stars as a young woman whose life seems to be divided into two alternate realities, depending on whether she boards a subway train or not.

SEX/NUDITY 4 - A woman discovers her boyfriend in bed and having sex with another woman (no nudity is shown, but we see some thrusting and hear noises). Two other sex scenes with no nudity, but some action. Sexual innuendo, including references to oral sex.

VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A woman is mugged, leaving her with a bloody gash on the head. A woman hits a man several times. A woman falls down some stairs. A woman is hit by a car and is killed.

LANGUAGE 6 - Half a dozen British F-words, about 10 scatological terms, several anatomical and sexual references, and several mild obscenities and insults.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Infidelity, fate, the unpredictability of life, trust.

MESSAGE - Even a seemingly inconsequential incident can change your life in a dramatic way.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
