"this movie made me so sad i loved it"
Harper Thomson
"9/10. High drama about an unbridled extramarital affair. Well acted and produced. Holds its intensity throughout the plot. Tension, angst, anxiety so well expressed."
JRM
"A quiet and low-heat kind of a love story but with a lot of longing. Beautiful! Worth watching."
Jen Mitchell
"So romantic"

"I caught this movie late one night, and didn't think I would like it, but it pulled me in and now it's one of my favorites from that era. It doesn't seem like much, but you get invested in these two characters who just happen to take the train each day together. It's like a realistic, not-so-typical-Hollywood love story. "
