    Presented with an economy and emotional cool that add to, rather than subtract from, its dramatic impact, The Girl on the Train reverberates with a quiet, seductive power.

    While the story pivots on an actual girl-who-cried-wolf incident, this elegantly constructed movie is about much more than that.

    A smart and incisive look at race, identity and dysfunction in modern French society.

    Once again the critics got it wrong. This movie is a cure for insomnia. The story is weak, there's no suspense, the characters are uninteresting. Avoid this turkey.… Expand
