Top CriticEveryone tries hard, but the movie is essentially superficial and has difficulty sustaining audience interest.

A sentimental view of small-town life in WWII, in which the railroads and train station are just as important as the human characters.

Very little seems to happen in this social vacuum, and none of it is memorable.

It's easy to end a movie with 'I love you,' but it's hard to get there honestly.

Top CriticA small movie about first love with abundant emotional riches.

It lacks [My Favourite Year's] winning charm.
