Observer - Rex Reed
Wrenching, profound and beautifully made, The Railway Man is one of the stunning don’t-miss surprises of the still-young 2014.

The Guardian - Catherine Shoard
From time to time, the script contextualises a little clumsily...but the playing and pacing are terrific.

The Playlist - Kevin Jagernauth
For all the assuredness behind the camera and in front of it, there's very little in way of edge or even, surprisingly, emotion.

Entertainment Weekly - Adam Markovitz
Colin Firth smolders as the PTSD-riddled veteran (played in flashbacks by War Horse‘s Jeremy Irvine), and Nicole Kidman cries dutifully as his wife — but they’re both derailed by the movie’s tidy emotional resolutions.

The Telegraph - Tim Robey
The result is a film that does perfectly respectable justice to Lomax's ordeal, without ever making a strong case for itself as independently stirring art.
