Railway Children Ratings & Reviews
Rincón de cine
Laura Hiros
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]
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Railway Children makes a potentially engrossing idea come off as bland and unmemorable.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Dotted with lessons, this is initially a nostalgia trip handled with the cherubic faces of a children's show.

Rachel Wagner
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 TV movie level not that of a feature film
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
Touching and beautifully produced.
Screen It!
Jim Judy
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.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
It tends to say literally everything it thinks... A little too on the nose.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Granted, this has more than just a whiff of Sunday night BBC drama a la Call The Midwife about it, but one has to marvel at the simplicity and innocence of such an endeavour in a world of franchise superhero films and big summer blockbusters.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
It tells a timely and engaging story but is marred by quick tonal shifts, incomplete scenes, and overeager, swelling musical telegraphing.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Whether viewers will still hold "The Railway Children Return" close to their hearts in 50 years' time remains to be seen, but no one's childhood is getting ruined here, either on screen or off.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
Charming and sweet, this pushes the right buttons and pushes them well.
Screen Rant
Rachel LaBonte
The Railway Children makes an admirable attempt at shedding light on a lesser known aspect of WWII, but ultimately doesn't possess enough depth.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
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.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
"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.
KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA)
Rick Bentley
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.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
If you love the [original] Railway Children, it's impossible not to be touched by this.
The Playlist
Oliver Weir
Laden with allusions and recreations, so conscious of its filmic debt, that it cannot stand alone..
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
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.
Phoenix Film Festival
Jeff Mitchell
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?
Common Sense Media
Stefan Pape
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.
