Sweet little story but a bit overrated
16 April 2017
I'd heard a lot about 'The Railway Children', so naturally I was looking forward to seeing it for the first time. Whilst I certainly enjoyed it, especially the beautiful Yorkshire scenery, the film didn't really live up to my high expectations. The story is endearing and the characters likable, but it just didn't do much for me.

This is a simple and sweet film, but the highlight for me was the stunning scenery and cinematography - this is a lovely film just to look at. 'The Railway Children' is well-acted with three great performances from the children. It's an overall effective way to pass the time, but ultimately not a film I will look back on as a 'classic'.
