Train Dreams

If this doesn't get nominated for at least best cinematography, sound, adaptation, and actor, I'll be devastated. The editing, composition, emotion, dialogue, casting, costuming, characters, and locations all feel beautiful, natural, and devoid of box office commercialism. Almost like an extremely evocative documentary. Alone yet loved, frightened yet astonished, broken yet honest, guilty yet helpless, starved yet strong. The story's progression is a metaphor for life itself. The beginning echoes the end, though its depth differs drastically. It's a lethargically heavy watch, but I still recommend it.

Maybe the most I’ve cried during a movie before. This film is simultaneously comforting and incredibly melancholic. While the story is simple and slowly paced , it truly makes you feel how life can slip by you, but the lack of big moments doesn’t make it any less worth living

“We’re but children of this earth, pulling bolts out of the Ferris wheel thinking ourselves to be gods.” Netflix outdid itself yet again!
