Train Dreams Review: Joel Edgerton's Western Drama Is Stunning To Behold & Yet I Just Couldn't Fall In Love With It

Train Dreamsrequires patience. It’s a slow, meandering yet intimate exploration of the American West in the early the 20th century. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Terrence Malick, director Clint Bentley adapts the screenplay (with co-writer Greg Kwedar) from Denis Johnson’s novel. The film is visually gorgeous, with some of the best cinematography at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and while I appreciated its introspection, it’s far too drawn out and aimless. I wanted to love the historical drama but its philosophical musings can only take the film so far.
