COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Interesting concept submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:36am A concept that pretty clearly influenced Sliding Doors. There's some levels of Polish political background that would have helped me connect with with a few of the stories. There's a portion of missing footage that was censored from the movie, that was interesting.

It was interesting to see the other people whose lives Witek influences in each storyline. Like the woman who he saves from getting hit by a car.

The ending is pretty jaw dropping.
