Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertI found the opening third tremendously intriguing and involving, I thought the emotions were so real they could be touched, but then the film lost its way and fell into the clutches of sentimental melodrama.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Manohla DargisEverything looks professional if undistinguished.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 6/10 by Stephen ColeThe film's best and most carefully shaded performance belongs to Bacon.
Variety - 6/10 by Todd McCarthyReserved, careful and largely predictable in the way it plays out its wrenching emotional crises.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Michael PhillipsAll the astute acting in the world can’t bring such a preposterous story into the station on time and intact.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Carina ChocanoAs lovely as some of the footage looks and as committed as are the three lead performances, they serve only to make Rails & Ties play like an exceptionally well-acted and well-made Lifetime movie.
USA Today - 5/10 by Claudia PuigWhile it features three strong performance and the debut of a promising filmmaker, the story line is obvious and rather melodramatic.
Entertainment Weekly - 5/10 by Owen GleibermanRails & Ties is like one bad TV movie that slammed into another.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Ella TaylorAlison Eastwood's debut feature is slow, deliberate, assured, and shot with a graceful feel for place--none of which is enough to overcome the creaky themes that tie this hackneyed domestic drama together with fearsome symmetry.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by J.R. JonesAlison Eastwood, whose good looks and last name have served her well as a Hollywood actress, makes her directing debut with this mediocre cancer drama.
