MB B I could not get past the first 30 minutes. The movie may have been better if they left it in Italian and added subtitles instead of the English dubbing that they used. The 2024 era voices made it sound too modern, not the movie's time period, and it just threw everything off. Some of the actors' reactions and delivery were also amateurish, and did not ring true.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Riaz R This is a deeply emotional and unforgettable film. The Children’s Train moved me in ways I didn’t expect—there were several moments when I had tears in my eyes. The story of young Amerigo, torn between the poverty of post-war Naples and the unfamiliar kindness of a northern foster family, is told with such tenderness and authenticity. The performances, especially by the young lead, are incredibly moving, and the film’s historical backdrop adds even more depth. It’s a beautifully made, heart-wrenching journey that stays with you long after the credits roll. Much credit again to the superb Italian film industry! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Alejandro E Based on a book, the post-war story has a tone that is attuned to reality, but at times lacks material for the viewer to empathise with the characters. That said, it is not entirely wasted. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Sam P This is such a great movie. I'm surprised it didn't get attention during awards season.
