Train Dreams

I did not think I’d be so heavily impacted by this movie. It felt so deeply personal to me, especially with the PNW setting. Felicity Jones you’ve done it again, last time with the Brutalist and now you’re brutalizing me with how wonderful you are.  This expertly shows a side of the Industrial Revolution told through the life of one man and his encounters with others. It sounds simple, but we get to spend a whole lifetime with this man and ugh now I’m crying again.  This film takes you through a whole range of emotions and that’s greatly due to its sound design and score. I haven’t really heard any of Bryce Dessner’s work except from the National, and wow, he’s incredible. Truly a master of tone and understood the assignment, can this guy score my life please 🙏  Anyway, Netflix I can’t be mad at you for Jay Kelly because you also picked up this gem. (We’ll see how I feel after Wake up Dead Man though 💀)
