El tren de los niños

I liked the film, it has a good character development, an interesting plot and a good set design.

I want to highlight some things that I liked about the film: The actors, the scenes, the character development, the story and how it progresses seem to me to be the strong points of this film. It does not contain any notable flaws and it does have its emotional and heartbreaking moments.

It is the first film by Christian Cervone (Amerigo) and he has done a good job interpreting his protagonist, he has a future in the world of acting, I have no doubt about that.

It is without a doubt one of the best Italian films I have seen and I fully recommend it.

While many will review the stunning acting, landscapes and story, I come away from this movie with that sense of a Mom's love.

Most of you will know the type, the love that will do what ever it takes to make sure her son has the best chance at life.... Even if that love breaks her own heart..... When a boy needs most of his life to work out the start of his life and the journey's he has to take, this movie explains this in spades.

Although it took me a couple of times to fully grasp the entire concept of the movie, (I prefer natural dialogue and sub-titles, so I sometimes miss a bit while reading) the idea of watching it a second time, made me feel good....this story is that good.

This is a movie, that will stay with me for the rest of my life.... It's that powerful.

This is one of the best movies I have ever watched.

This touching film is a beautifully crafted tale that explores the profound themes of love and the human capacity to give and receive it. The story is recounted through the perspective of a little boy, now grown, as he reflects on pivotal moments in his life. Its poignant narrative is accompanied by a soundtrack that perfectly complements the film's emotional tone, drawing the audience further into its tender moments.

For those who appreciate intimate, character-driven stories with significant emotional depth, this movie is a must-see. Its simplicity belies the complexity of its themes, offering a quiet yet profound meditation on love, memory, and connection.

Loved it.

During this melodrama.between the child Amerigo and her mother I had several times tears in my eyes. It's a heartbreaking true story and told in a very magnificent way. The atmosphere from after war in the 40ies and the costumes were well done. The places in Naples were wonderfully filmed. Especially Amerigo played by top shooting and coming star Christian Cervone was the best actor in my opinion. It was amazing and sentimental in the same, similar to the great success Cinema Paradiso or Il Postino. Then, the director Comencini made an emotional blockbuster that will have a great success on Netflix and on the international film festivals. It deserves an 8/10 for this original movie proving that nowadays it is still possible to create quality films on higher levels. Watch it.

Italian director Cristina Comencini delivers a beautiful film about a mother's love and the innocence of being a child in an emotional and natural tone of a story that marked hundreds of lives in the midst of World War II .

Netflix allows us to enjoy this beautiful film based on the novel by Viola Ardone and that transports us to the beautiful story of Amerigo who in his innocence and in his love takes us through a story full of beautiful moments that unfortunately become too short. The delicate direction of Cristina Comencini captivates us with that delicacy of providing beautiful shots and a raw portrait, but always seen from the innocence of children, which allows us to have a film always with a hopeful tone. We are in the middle of a war, but both its script and its direction in a calculated way make you feel that it is present, but they never leave aside the true center of paying homage to all those children who had to leave their mothers to find love with another new family.

The film is intelligent because among its wonderful photography and its music it hides captivating performances by Serena Rossi and Barbara Ronchi, two lonely mothers filled with love for Amerigo, played in an exciting way by Christian Cervone, who with his charisma and tenderness carries on his shoulders a story full of emotions in all aspects.

On this occasion we are faced with a work that reminds us how sometimes linearity and simplicity work to captivate that necessary fiber in the spectator. It is a classic proposal, but with determination, it is a journey along two paths, the first the innocence of childhood and the second motherhood in two looks that show us that loving is also letting go and wanting is also knowing how to understand.

A beautiful film with all the blood and Italian love that once again brings us a great director, behind the camera and an emotional tribute to all those who grew up and adapted to this train of hope.
