Andre Techine has a way of taking real life situations and remolding them into fine film dramas.

The Girl on the Train (2009)

is such a film.

A girl makes up a story about being attacked by young men. Blacks and arabs.

It makes the tabloids and she gets to live in a spotlight that she cannot endure.

I got this for Catherine Deneuve who plays the well meaning mother of the girl.

It is an OK film but nothing special.

A 3 out of Netflix5.
