The Girl on the Train Ratings & Reviews
The Atlantic
Ed Koch
Baloney. The movie is made up of unfulfilled possibilities. Some of the scenes are interesting, but a film with a solid story it is not.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A movie whose blitheness doesn't know when to quit.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Although this stylish and ominously paced vehicle starts with a full itinerary, it never makes a vital connection.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Tchin's choice of zag over zig succeeds in upending the audience's expectations, although it's not clear to what end.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
Could have been a bit more focused and refined but it is still a rich, deep, and complex drama with spectacular performances by Deneuve, Blanc, and Dequenne.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The Girl on the Train reverberates with a quiet, seductive power.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie seems likely to be about anti-Semitism, but that's more the occasion than the subject.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's a well-acted, but frustratingly inconclusive exercise.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
This is Tchin's gift -- not just detail, but telling detail; and not just slices of life, but slices as rich as a cassata cake.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Don't expect any kind of neo-documentary examination of cause and effect. That's not filmmaker Andre Techine's style, and this is one of his most successful films.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
It is Dequenne who holds the film together -- she and Tchin's youthful touch, which belies his 66 years.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A seductive drama.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Techine glosses over the story's most potent issue: France's complicated relationship with its Jewish community.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Given several years' distance from the media blitz, Tchin brings clarity, maturity, and perspective to the case while still subtly addressing all the thorny social issues the affair touched off.
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
There might have been deeper currents of envy and displaced shame to plumb in the case of Girl on the Train, but for once this reliably penetrating filmmaker hasn't found them.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Tchin has made a half-captivating, half-baffling tease of a movie in which one woman's destructive whim has the effect of making anti-Semitism look like a myth.
Observer
Rex Reed
The film is based on a play, but it is to the director's credit that it never shows the claustrophobic trappings of a proscenium stage.
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
For better or worse, there isn't a human experience that French director Andre Techine can resist lathering into a tone poem.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Techine fashions a brilliantly complex, intimate multi-strander, held together but somewhat skewed by the central perf of Emilie Dequenne.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
At the age of sixty-six, [Tchin] approaches the exploits of his characters with a gusto, and a willingness to be led astray, that borders on the adolescent.
