A dirge so solemn, viewers may exit this train before it arrives at its destination.

Rated: 2.5/4

The New Yorker

The result invites obvious yet not inapt comparisons to the work of Terrence Malick, but Bentley’s film unfolds in a more dramatically direct, compacted register.

Financial Times

Bearing echoes of Kelly Reichardt’s 2019 film First Cow, Train Dreams taps into the rough-hewn pioneer poetry of individualism and brutality in a vast wilderness.

Film Inquiry

Train Dreams is both quiet and gentle, yet immensely impactful. This is vast and expansive emotional storytelling at its finest.

The Movie Buff

Bently tends to the wounds of the main character by crafting beautiful, Terence Malick-like imagery and staying true to the swiftly poetic tone that Johnson utilizes in his work.

Rated: B
