AFCC member Sammie Purcell reviews #TrainDreams which she says "the film beautifully explores the tension between beauty and violence, between meaning and happenstance, and how to go on living nonetheless." roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/11/21/t... #AFCC #MovieReview #ForTheLoveOfMovies
'Train Dreams' is a search for meaning in American expansion
In “Train Dreams” the filmmakers take a story that could easily feel trite or overwrought and instead come up with something deeply humane.

Edgar Wright's "The Running Man" can't get past its tonal clash, a little too absurd to take itself so seriously.
