Friday Family Film Night: TRAIN DREAMS review
Episode 14
Friday, 13 February, 2026
In which the Mister joins me in reviewing TRAIN DREAMS (2025), from writers Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar and based on Denis Johnson's novella, the film is directed by Clint Bentley. Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton) is a soft-spoken laborer helping to carve the railroad through the rugged wilderness of the early 20th-century Pacific Northwest. After building a modest life and starting a family with his wife Gladys (Felicity Jones) in a remote cabin, Robert’s world is shattered by a devastating, "once-in-a-century" wildfire that forces him into a life of profound isolation. The film follows his subsequent decades of survival and reflection as he navigates a rapidly modernizing America, haunted by the memories of his past and the mystical, untamed spirit of the woods. The film clocks in at 1 h and 42 m, is rated PG-13 and is currently streaming on Netflix.
