- Excerpt: So, I get why many love the film and others think it hollow. I don’t therefore mind finding myself stuck in the middle with the realization that its often shallow machinations do ultimately add up to a whole lot.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Following a regular man in the world is not unique to Train Dreams, but the film does provide an excellent look at a man whose life contains various forms of drama, captured with a sense of naturalism that left a lasting mark.
- Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: Robert is so precious because he takes responsibility for what happens in his life. Even though he is not always the force behind the bad things, they still haunt him. He is not a hero, but an everyman. The film will impact you because deep inside, he is one of us.
