Train Dreams follows the life of Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), a logger navigating work, love, loss, and change across a rapidly shifting America. Wyoming viewers will find a certain familiarity in its pacing: the film moves like the landscape—steady, reflective, and full of understated beauty.

Grainier takes one job with a railroad company, and that single event echoes through the rest of his life. It’s not a flashy plot, but it’s one that Wyomingites will understand: sometimes one choice—one season, one job—shapes everything that comes after.

We watch Grainier meet Gladys (Felicity Jones), the love of his life. Together they carve out a home in the Pacific Northwest. It hits close to home for those of us who know what it means to build a life in rugged country.
