4 Academy Award Nominations, including Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Song and Best Picture Winner of 3 Film Independent Spirit Awards for Best Feature, Best Director, and Best Cinematography Based on Denis Johnson’s beloved novella, Train Dreams is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly-changing America of the early 20th Century. Led by star Joel Egerton (Loving, The Great Gatsby, Zero Dark Thirty), the ensemble cast includes Felicity Jones (The Brutalist), Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisheran) and William H. Macy (Fargo). Nick Cave sings the Oscar-nominated song he co-wrote over the closing credits.

“The grand sweep of our lives, Train Dreams suggests, is the sort of thing we can only begin to understand when we’re reaching life’s end, and even then we may only grasp it dimly.” — Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times
