Train Dreams

It was a very touching, heartfelt, sad film that turned my soul inside out.

Oh, my God, how sad and beautiful it is at the same time!

I read the book of the same name a couple of years ago. the book itself is quite small and literally for the evening, and then the movie came out.

The film is actually a festival film and is unlikely to reach the mass audience because of its presentation. it may seem boring because of its simplicity and meditativeness, but damn..

a film about life, with a seemingly ordinary story of an ordinary man. maybe it's too melancholic somewhere, touching somewhere, but still soulful..

Plus, there's a cool visual and camerawork.

Being in a protracted expectation of the second part of Costner's Horizons, I found something in common in this film and the first part). It is said that this is the most melancholic and protracted narrative, the effect of which was enhanced by the addition of a narrator, and I surprisingly liked it.

Of course, in the style of human stories in the late Wild West, I usually prefer something like "Call of the Ancestors" with Ford, but this film definitely dragged on.

A leisurely narration of one small life.
I'm sorry that Robert never saw or found his family again.😢

Life is ambiguous, there were both good and not so good moments. Actually, the opportunity to continue living after the loss of a friend, family, meaning, but he did not look for it, and did not fully reveal himself. Depressing and beautiful 🤧

He hoped to the last that his wife and daughter would return to him... It's a sad, soulful film, probably millions of such lives lived. We are just children on this earth, we take the bolts out of the carousels and imagine ourselves to be gods - these words really hooked. And I also remembered the video about the guy: This world is already completely clear to me, I am looking for only one thing here, peace, tranquility, and this harmony from merging with the infinite eternal.

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand the meaning of this film and why it got such ratings and everyone is talking about it. If someone explains the meaning, I will be grateful.

It 's touching and sad to hear 🙁

For 1 time. There is no plot. The picture is juicy. Everything is clean. But I feel sorry for everyone. If I hadn't been on Netflix, but only at some festivals, I wouldn't have bothered and looked for a way to watch.

It's a very hard and sad movie.

If movies have a soul, then this is it.…

For a film about an ordinary person, every scene is incredibly heartbreaking and touching. I couldn't stop thinking about poor Robert for hours after watching it.

Probably one of the best films of the year. A simple, inherently simple segment of life. But he's very honest and outspoken, and extremely sad.

I won't call this the best movie of 2025, but it's certainly valuable to watch.

One life. One person. Oh...
I was so touched by the last minutes of the movie. Everything we were shown led to them. And when the silent credits rolled, I just stared at them and couldn't move until the music started.
It's such a strong, yet simple painting that it's impossible not to love it. And at the same time, it is also visually aesthetic.

You will find this movie either very boring or very difficult, it all depends on whether you have already flown on an airplane...

For me and, I'm sure, for many, this picture is unusual in many ways. It shows life, the simple life of a lumberjack, with its joys and losses. Everyone is trying to find their connection to this world. It is not obvious, it is difficult to find, and finding it seems to be a great value, a revelation.

It's a great movie, it helps you ask the right questions. And I hope the answers will come with time.

It's a very atmospheric and eye-pleasing film. The operator's work is beyond praise. The picture is juicy. The landscapes are fascinating. And Joel Edgerton pleases with his game. Meditative narration, in this case, is only good for the film.

A touching and heartfelt film. Perhaps a good start to the cinematic year.

⭐ Subjective 4 out of 5 stars ⭐

As they said on one of the resources: this is such a Forest Gump on the contrary. That is, the hero is present in many important periods of history, but all this passes him by. Even a man's flight into space is not something he pays special attention to. Well, someone flew there, somewhere out there... I'm not up to him right now. And this is the story of a simple man who just lives with his thoughts and problems. All this with fascinating camera work, music and other details important for cinematography. After watching it, I just want to sit and think about my own course of life. Like where it's all going, where it's going to come to, and what's going to happen along the way. For some reason, for me, it overlapped with the story of "Chuck's Life."

Oh, it's creepy...
what a beautiful movie, and how sad it is...
incomparable, but how fucking sad.

Visually, it's a beautiful but very sad film. He's really sad. I didn't regret watching it, but it's probably not something that everyone can do.

The man who lost everything and keep going.

It's a sweet but very superficial film, everything is very sketchy and not disclosed.. ((
It's not clear about the title, how does it relate to the film?
And my wife and daughter died in the fire, did they?

Two-fold feelings after watching. I would like a happy ending of at least 50%. You spend the whole movie waiting with the main character, and that's what makes it sad.

I watched a movie and thought, "It's beautiful, but it doesn't touch." And in the last scene, there are tears in my eyes.. The mood is like that..

It's all beautiful and sad, but it didn't get into the mood. It reminded me of Wenders and his Ideal Days, but I liked him better.

a soulful film, beautiful and meditative. a quiet little life of one person with its own difficult twists of fate, losses and sorrows. I liked. such a film is clearly in a melancholic mood. the actor played well, conveyed all the pain and heaviness of being after losing the most important thing in his life.
nature, of course, plays an important role in the mood and message of the film.
I didn't have much hope that everything would end in a happy ending, so for me, to a greater extent, it's still a film about accepting a situation, no matter how scary and devastating it might be, as well as about finding meaning in life afterward.

It's so beautiful, wow..
Well, it's sad, of course
And if I hadn't known what it was, I wouldn't have recognized Kerry Condon..
Well, Felicity Jones is wonderful..

"The world needs a hermit in the forest, as well as a preacher in the pulpit"
is an incredibly beautiful and melancholic story about the life of an ordinary person who just lives his life. In the end, the moment with the plane brought tears to my eyes, from the realization of the kinship of such a life with mine.

A majestic movie about fundamental things
A true epic and a drama of a single life at the same time
It's amazing how well it turned out to combine it.

Soulful and lovely
