Based on Denis Johnson's beloved novella, Train Dreams is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier (Golden Globe-nominee Joel Edgerton, Loving), a logger and railroad worker whose life unfolds during an era of unprecedented change in 20th-century America. When his life takes an unexpected turn, Robert discovers beauty, brutality, and newfound meaning for the forests and trees he has felled.Chock-full of magnificently powerful performances from Edgerton, as well as his Oscar-nominated co-stars Felicity Jones (The Brutalist), Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin), and William H. Macy (Fargo), "Clint Bentley’s magnificent Train Dreams is a film of echoes. In its generation-spanning drama, life and death intertwine in the duality of the symbol of the train, something that represents both progress and destruction...Bentley and co-writer Greg Kwedar (Sing Sing) tell a story of an ordinary life in an extraordinary way, a man who believed his existence was shackled by guilt and trauma. A birth-to-death character study, Train Dreams is a meditation on the beauty of everyone and everything, how we are connected to both the earth and those who walked it before us."—Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com.
