Le Dernier Wagon

It's a beautiful story about the kid's world, their struggling parents, heavenly childhood, importance of friends, the harsh realities of a makeshift railroad community, and it develops without any hype. Wonderful soulful movie, very worth to watch and think.

This movie reminds me of one of my favorite movie 'Stand by Me'. One of the most impressive Mexican movies I've ever seen.

Their childhood adventure reminds me my childhood, soulful school friends, school bunk, and many other things. This movie also clear my vision and take life easily. All is well.

Thank you Netflix for this amazing movie.

It's much more than a cute film, about a simple childhood and the importance of friends, it portrays a harsh capitalist reality (a necessary evil)... Education sets you free, teaching is an act of passion, teachers should be overrated, we, workers we are replaceable... So beautiful and so sad, it moves us and leaves our hearts tight, in the same proportion that it leaves our hearts warm... A beautiful film with a passionate ending, I cried a lot...

At a school in rural Mexico, teacher Georgina is determined to make a difference in the lives of the bright young students she educates in a classroom converted from a train car.

I really enjoyed watching this movie it's filled with what could be real facts which is what makes it sad, what I liked the most of it was how they managed to focus in the good things in the life of a child who was fortunate to have good guidance from his parents and teacher, and I say fortunate because as we see in the movie not all kids had even that. It's sad to think that this happens in real life but I am glad this story made into a platform like Netflix where many people in this world can see it and get a grasp of what life is in different parts of the world and feel inspired to do good, this movie made me realize that what matters is what you give and the good things you leave in peoples hearts, that's what really matters and not material things.

A quite beautiful excerpt from the hard life of Mexican children living in a small town on the frontier ("where the tracks end").

Where they made long-lasting memories, friends and received some very necessary education.. by a wonderful teacher that wanted nothing but the best for her students (seemingly the core of the movie).

As per my understanding, the novel this was adapted from delves into the story in a different manner.. with the "brilliant inspector" Hugo Valenzuela having a more central role in the narrative. A change that might provide more depth into this character, for those interested in getting something more from the source material. As presented, this movie is a very well executed story that is as good as it could hope to be, for what is trying to say. With good cinematography, a great cast and some heartfelt moments.

I have not had the blessing to see a movie like this, Spanish or not ( this one has English subtitles available) for a long, long time. The landscapes and photography are amazing, the actors and actresses so natural, engaged and charismatic, and the plot is Universal..." Where the tracks end", was inspired by real events in Mexico in the old 60's, when train wagons were used as schools in some of the poorest rural areas of the country, although the characters and situations in the movie are fiction. The movie talks about the innocence of the first Love, Family, Life twists (sometimes sad, sometimes happy), friendship (yes, including the doggie ones), poverty and injustice, strength and the intrinsec Power of Reading and education... and a wonderful, brave, kind but strict rural Teacher, that will touch and transform lives, and will bring Hope and resilience to her students with all of her heart, specially to the new kid in the village, Ikal, who has to move a lot with his Dad and Mum, because his Dad has a job as a rail track worker, and whose Mum has a life-condition that does not let her work for the sake of her humble family. Even the beloved teacher, Maestra Georgina, has her own secret pain that will empower her, also, to eventually help Ikal's to change his Life forever... Please enjoy it with your family, and make sure that have some popcorn and a box of Kleenex beside you!
