As a result, a movie which starts off in such magical fashion soon runs out of steam.

If you love the [original] Railway Children, it's impossible not to be touched by this.

| Feb 14, 2024

Morgan Matthews weaves together a solid story of the peace the children find when they are transported to a relatively safe place with the inner turmoil they feel because of all the pain caused by the war.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 9, 2023

“Railway Children” is more sober-minded than most American children’s films, as it teaches kids about the horrors of war and racism. Some may find it a little dry, but it has its share of gentle charms.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 11, 2022

Even though the sappy drama Railway Children is told from the perspectives of children during World War II, it's still no excuse for how the movie mishandles issues such as racism and military desertion. The movie's last 15 minutes are atrociously mushy.

On one hand, The Railway Children is a sweet, harmless family film but on the other it tackles a lot for one film including war, death, racism, bombings, bullying and more. The child acting is also on a made for 온라인카지노추천 movie level not that of a feature film

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 12, 2022

Laden with allusions and recreations, so conscious of its filmic debt, that it cannot stand alone..

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 28, 2022

A very old-fashioned throwback to a simpler time that’s no likelier to capture the imagination of American audiences than its 1970 inspiration did.

| Original Score: C | Sep 27, 2022

Railway Children is a lightweight and comforting film that is not afraid to address serious still relevant to modern-day life, boasting strong chemistry between the children

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 27, 2022

…largely fails because of British cinema’s endless regurgitation of nostalgia for the past in the forlorn hope of forming national identity in a post-Brexit world…

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 26, 2022

This WWII family drama - about three Manchester children shuttled to Yorkshire to avoid German bombs - goes off the rails as American MPs become the primary antagonists. What is happening here?

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 24, 2022

It tends to say literally everything it thinks... A little too on the nose.

| Sep 23, 2022

Charming and sweet, this pushes the right buttons and pushes them well.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 23, 2022

It tells a timely and engaging story but is marred by quick tonal shifts, incomplete scenes, and overeager, swelling musical telegraphing.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 23, 2022

The Railway Children makes an admirable attempt at shedding light on a lesser known aspect of WWII, but ultimately doesn't possess enough depth.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 23, 2022

Good option to enjoy with the family, a war movie that you can confidently share with the smallest crowd in your household. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2022

Touching and beautifully produced.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 23, 2022

The result likely won't be confused with being a masterpiece by anyone, but it's a decently engaging tale told in the form of a children's story.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Sep 23, 2022

Railway Children makes a potentially engrossing idea come off as bland and unmemorable.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 22, 2022

It's not quite as moving as the original 1970 movie. But it does have a Spielbergian quality to it, similar to the likes of E.T., in the way the kids come together to save the day.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2022
