About this video

Train Dreams is Clint Bentley’s haunting adaptation of the novella by Denis Johnson.

This is one of those films that sneaks up on you and then it hits you in the heart.

In this review, I look at how Joel Edgerton delivers what might be his best performance, how the cinematography and score elevate what could have been a modest story into something extraordinary, and why this film isn’t just about the past but about change, loss, and living through it.
