FLICKREEL: The Railway Children Return Review
September 22, 2022
"We live in an era of legacy sequels. The Railway Children Return (or Railway Children as it’s being marketed in some areas) is among the more expected. Most modern audiences might not be familiar with the 1970 British film simply titled The Railway Children. This successor doesn’t require viewers to see the original. While some actors reprise their roles, such as Jenny Agutter as Bobbie Waterbury, the cast is almost entirely different. This is to be expected, as the OG railroad children haven’t been children for almost 50 years. Given the time gap, the film can feel more like a reboot or standalone film than a sequel. Whatever you want to call it, Railway Children is compelling enough to potentially generate newfound interest in the first film."
