Reviews for this film from our members:
- [New – 9/25/14] | Samuel Castro @ Ochoymedio.info [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Aunque la historia real en que se basa es terrible y dramática, Jonathan Tepliitzky no logra transmitir corectamente la emoción de la misma.
- Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
- Excerpt: It’s a war movie where the battlefield is one of the mind, and I’m not sure that any effort to film it would ever fully capture the horror Lomax went through.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: It’s dramatic effectiveness is hampered by lack of suspenseful structure and starchy reticence…
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Colin Firth’s portrait of restrained passivity is both admirable and frustrating. The biopic engages at irregular intervals but it’s so carefully modulated that it feels like an artifact from a bygone era.
- Blake Howard @ Graffiti With Punctuation
- Excerpt: The Railway Man will leave a mark on your soul, not only for the brutal barbarity of war but for the sheer power of screen stories.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Almost entirely ignores the amazing aspect of this true story that makes it worth telling, and even the very good performances point us in another direction than the intended one.
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: With echoes of Bridge on the River Kwai and Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, the WWII POW scenes are easily the most effective aspect of The Railway Man.
