INSANE: Netflix s train dreams was overwhelmingly sad at times but i m glad i watched it | Vintage Vibes

Netflix Robert Grainier Joel Edgerton Felicity Jones
Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones looking lovingly at each other in Train Dreams.

I attended the 61st Chicago International Film Festival and saw an early screening of Train Dreams. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there are too many exciting upcoming 2025 movies, so I hadn’t heard of the film before this viewing. However, I think Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones are compelling actors, so I was curious to see what they'd bring to their roles.

I assumed the film would be a typical quest-for-the-American-dream story. It has those elements, but it’s a much more somber story about life and death.
