"Train Dreams" is the biggest movie coming to Netflix this week, and with good reason. The period piece drama initially debuted at Sundance this past January to rave reviews, and shortly after, the streaming service bought the rights. Since then, this film has kept up the momentum, earning several award wins, and "Train Dreams" is considered a serious candidate to get a Best Picture nomination at next year's Oscars. It currently has a 95% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is impressive.
I was lucky enough to attend a theatrical screening for "Train Dreams" back in October, and I have to say, it largely lives up to the hype. I have some quibbles with it (more on that later), but there's no denying that this is a deeply moving portrait of a man that time forgot, and it's visually stunning as well.
