    ayyy ..Awhile ago I voraciously read The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins and looked forward to watching the 2016 film with Emily Blunt.. But setting it in NYC vs London rlly killed the vibe and lost all the nuance/class tension that's specific to the UK, EU, London greater London... #booksky

    Why do men dominate the film industry? Why aren’t women doing box office numbers like men? I need to do research. What are we missing? Even psychological thrillers that are female driven are directed by men. Gone Girl, Black Swan, The Girl on the Train, The Housemaid.

    I'm also looking forward to Project Hail Mary coming out because it's the first time I've read the book before the film and I can annoy the hell out of my wife by talking all the way through it like she did me with Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

    Take your pick of Emily Blunt's filmography. But as a professional drinker who'd lived and almost died 22 years in NYC before moving back to California, I have say «The Girl on the Train» strikes me as authentic. As a performance. As a movie, not so much. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

    I think after the success of The Housemaid, audiences want more psychological thrillers like Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. The Woman Who Knows will be that! But we need your support! See what perks we have and support women in film! #filmsky www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

    The book is much better than the simplified movie. Hollywood doesn't like its audience to think too much. If you haven't seen them already, try The Girl on the Train or The Woman in the Window.

    If you’re in the mood for a thriller with “girl” in the title that was made into a movie, The Girl on the Train is pretty solid. (No accident that Paula Hawkin wrote an intro to Strangers on a Train.)

    A very feminine film with a good mystery, but is no better due to several small problems and the total absence of dramatic tension. Good books usually give rise to good films… if they have people who are skilled enough to translate them intelligently onto the screen. I heard great things about the original book, but as I never found it on sale in my language, I ended up never being able to read it. All I can do is talk strictly about the film, and overall I was satisfied. I couldn't help but…

When the woman of that house comes up missing, the girl on the train becomes entangled in the investigation.

    The mystery man and the gone girl! It is one of those films that I thought I saw everything from its trailer. Not just me, many others said the same. Those we were never read the original source. Yes, it was based on the book of the same name. I really liked it. Unpredictable, but once it reveals its secret, it feels so simple that we'd missed. Straightforward storytelling. No flashbacks. Great characters, but that's where the story had a strong grip. Especially when the suspense unveiled, you…

    Relentlessly grim yet unengaging, despite a committed performance from Emily Blunt at the centre of it. Fractured narrative can work brilliantly when a master like Christopher Nolan is in charge. This just felt like a boilerplate chick-lit murder mystery thrown into a blender to hide the thinness of its story.
