Off the Rails

I laughed and cried throughout this beautiful film. This is truly a gem for my generation, the forgotten ladies in our 50s who have a wealth of experience and plenty of life yet to life. We can all relate to at least one character in Off the Rails, which is not only a timely reminder to live life to the full, but also to appreciate the friends we have and to come out of the pandemic wiser and kinder.

I also secretly love that middle aged male critics don't get it. This one is for us!

This was a sweet film overall. I expected more from the trailer. I enjoyed how this film focuses on the strength in female friendships. Sally Phillips stood out and was hilarious as usual! The plot was weak mind you so I certainly wouldn't lose sleep over missing this.

Good idea, for a film with a reasonable cast bbut just woefully scripted and totally predictable at every turn.

I really looked forward to watching this movie and was so disappointed. It was far fetched to the point where we just burst outlaughing. It was never explained what caused the beach to age everyone on it. I didn't realise it was a comedy 😂

What starts out as a good idea,three 50 something women brought back together following the death of a friend, who as a parting gift leave them 4 tickets for them to take her 18yr old daughter on a cross european train journey to fulfill her dying wish. For a premise that had so much potential, the movie felt flat, slow moving, dull and at the dialogue was painful and corney, rather than funny. The actors were quite good, but werent given a good enough script to work with. Each of the main characters backstories and their individual "issues" werent well explored and it was hard to believe them as friends. There was very little emotional payoff at the end, except relief that it was over.
