Movie Reviews

2UE That Movie Show - 10/10 by Blake HowardThe Railway Man will leave a mark on your soul, not only for the brutal barbarity of war but for the sheer power of screen stories.
Birmingham Mail - 10/10 by Graham YoungAs an Oscar winner for The King's Speech (2010), Firth has nothing to prove. But this is a performance which he might eventually consider to be his finest, speaking volumes for men who quietly carried the burdens of evil on their shoulders.
New York Observer - 10/10 by Rex ReedWrenching, profound and beautifully made, The Railway Man is one of the stunning don’t-miss surprises of the still-young 2014.
Baret News - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA remarkable illustration of the human capacity to find peace through forgiveness.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfActing as another exploration of post-war anguish, The Railway Man has valuable insight into the process of forgiveness, making it a worthy sit, even when it feels incomplete.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekThe story is compelling but the telling less than ideal...ponderous rather than powerful.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeFor all its classic-era echoes, the structure of The Railway Man with its nightmares, flashbacks and even outright fantasy scenes is fairly modern, making the film much more than an exercise in 'making them like they used to.'
Movie Habit - 9/10 by Robert DenersteinCompelling story is sporadically effective
Movie Talk - 9/10 by Jason BestColin Firth delivers another of his masterly portrayals of stiff-upper-lipped emotional reserve, but his character's stuffy reticence means that it is all the more powerful when he eventually reveals the depths of hurt left by his harrowing experiences.
Screen It! - 8/10 by Jim JudyNot horrible but simply dramatically inert despite the premise and parts in play. (Full Content Review for Parents also Available)
