Train Dreams - Anmeldelser

Here is a true hidden gem of a film, a meditative tone poem on what it means to live a good life.

Combined with the cinematography and Bryce Dessner’s contemplative score, the result is a melancholic, Terrence Malick-ian vision of a place that is brutal, beautiful and forever lost to time.

Joel Edgerton superb in Malickian story of trees, grief and railroads.

his sweeping epic captures not just one man's tough, tragic life, and not just the human exploitation and development of the still-wild Pacific Northwest, but rather the deep and unbreakable connection between the two.

...persist through changing times in ethereal, awestruck drama.

Bentley’s modest, moving epic of the common man is a thing of rare beauty.

Joel Edgerton stuns in meditative period drama.

...a poignant character study of a man and his times.

...in its own quiet way, it still grazes against the divine.

There are certain movies that grab you from the jump, and "Train Dreams" is one of them...

In its generation-spanning drama, life & death intertwine in the duality of the symbol of the train, something that represents both progress and destruction.

...is a fine film, one of beauty, lyricism, and poignancy, boasting impeccable performances and striking imagery.

Jag hade kanske kunnat uppfatta ”Train dreams” som seg, men blir i stället invaggad i dess ömsinta långsamhet.
