Train Dreams Twitter/X Movie Review

Joel Edgerton stars in Train Dreams

Bummer!

IMDb Plot: Based on Denis Johnson's beloved novella, Train Dreams is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly-changing America of the early 20th Century. Directed by Clint Bentley.

 


Joel Edgerton delivers an earnest/memorable performance in @traindreamsfilm, an Oscar hopeful with Terrence Malick vibes and a not-so-friendly reminder about how hard it was living in the early 20th century. It’s equal parts beautiful and sobering, leaning (heavily) towards the latter in the second half. If you think 🤔 your job is rough, watch this.
