The Movie The Girl on the Train

The movie The Girl on the Train turned out to be vastly superior to the book (that I reviewed here.) Thanks to a very good director of photography and an actress called Haley Bennett whom I never saw before but who’s strangely talented for a Hollywood actress, the movie is actually good. Bennett took a character that was so flat in the book I forgot she existed and made her into a tragic and memorable figure. It’s a pity that the other two actresses are so typically indifferent. With 3 strong female leads, this could be an outstanding movie.
