What are critics saying?

The Independent by Clarisse Loughrey

The Railway Children Return is part-sequel, part-remake, with a carefully selected smattering of callbacks for the fans.

Little White Lies by David Jenkins

As a feature, it all feels very rushed and dramatically inert, with the outcome of Abe’s predicament visible from many, many miles off.

The Irish Times by Donald Clarke

The new film is a plodding affair, characterised more by fastidious set dressing than by narrative tension.

Empire by Ian Freer

Perhaps not as heart-warming or charming as the first film, The Railway Children Return is engaging and entertaining in different ways, winningly played by its fresh cast.
