      Audience Member This was a very impactful movie although slow going at first, it slowly drew me in with its storytelling and style. I truly enjoyed it and am going to add it to my list of favorite movies watched of all time because it's a lifechanging movie that inspires me to follow my dream as well. Thank you so much to whoever directed or had the idea for this film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It gave me something to think about. I believe this movie set out to entertain and inspire and I felt it succeeded. A surprisingly good movie considering I had little knowledge on the movie's genre before seeing it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a story about a 49-year-old man dreaming of becoming a train driver. I was so encouraged to follow my dream by this film. You get only one life. Follow your dream! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie itself is like a train...it moves very very slowly (yes a slow pace), but it is a wonderful slice of life story as it emphasizes that life has to go forward, in a positive way, just like a train on its railway, no matter the diversion of paths, or changes in priorities in life due to circumstances it encounters. Also, like a train, the main character still strives to make positive impact on people surrounding him. Another thing to note is there is no over-the-top sequences in its drama, though there are cliched parts noted. A well made movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
