Train Dreams

The work of Terence Malick is clearly an influence on this beautifully shot, well acted drama, that won't be for all but those willing to succumb to its chilly, woody charms will be rewarded with an ethereal feeling of gentleness and melancholic feelings.

I liked that'Grainger' never develops a romance with the Kerry Condon character, its too predictable.

The threadbare story is a criticism but Joel Edgerton carries the film to a peak of authenticity in his looks and manner that after a while one forgets there is no forward narrative drive.

It's a tricky one to pull off....

One can't imagine the world as Robert has until you've been in his shoes. At 70 yrs old I can relate perfectly, as I have been a loner for the latter part of my life as well. Like Robert, I long for the love I lost, and the time I'll never get back.

This is a story of life, loss, beginnings, and end. Of loneliness, sorrow, and brief happiness, which seems to be always fleeting.

This movie has a warmth very rare in these days of "The Avengers, and Ironman, Avatar, etc, most will Find it boring, uninteresting, and vague. But it tells a very important story, and if you "Get It", you'll be much more content in your life.

Excellent Movie, with Magnificent Acting. Joel Edgerton should get an Academy Award for his role in this magnificent Masterpiece!

It's just a Very Moving Movie!!!!

I think all filmmakers should take the medium seriously, but most don't. It's an artform. I'm not saying make an art film, just be mindful. Take it seriously. Do honest work.

This movie isn't for everyone. There's no antagonist/protagonist face off with a satisfying conclusion. It's just a story.

That's all I'm looking for. A life that isn't mine, in a time and place I'll never know, told by someone mindful of the work they are doing.

Every couple of years, someone does this kind of work and I'm thankful for it.

A serene Masterpiece for the soul. For the people growing old, feeling time pass.

I hope this movie gets more attention, its exactly what I hoped to see and been missing a lot from the big and small screens alike. A good story, an important message full of emotion and just perfect acting. Cant find something bad to say about it, only that I wanted more.

I hope that whoever has a high sensitivity will see this movie. I never write reviews, but this movie touched my soul. With hypnotic visuals and a minimalist score, it blends gritty realism and dreamlike fragments. The film's slow-burn tension and raw performances create an intimate portrait of fragile hope.
