I must tell frankly I have a positive bias on this one, as an ex riders I may feels more " palpability " on this one.
The story of four lives who at some point are colliding at the same crossing layered in-between with the story of the " Great Depression ".
Solidly film with no special fantasy BUT no digital effect nor over nerving agressive soundtrack.
A bit slopy ( how many jet stream can you count in this film in the blue sky? )
Of course, overly sentimental, the way the US ( it is spreading world wide ) spectator like to suffer....
I wish it would be the standart for all new films to comes... for the simple minded who, from time to time we all belongs...
Nice film.
