If Train Dreams was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Train Dreams.

Hot Take: Train Dreams's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, Train Dreams would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Train Dreams is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the Train Dreams performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Train Dreams?
Director clearly thought Train Dreams was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Train Dreams is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love Train Dreams. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
