The Railway Children Return

(2022)Directed by Morgan Matthews95 min · PGDrama, Family, Adventure
“A new adventure begins.”

A young soldier turns up in a Yorkshire village during the Second World War, and no one in it can say what he is doing there. Lily Watts (Beau Gadsdon) and her brother and sister have been evacuated from the city to the home of Annie Waterbury (Sheridan Smith), and Morgan Matthews follows them as they set about finding out. Bobbie (Jenny Agutter) is here again, and the film comes down to children and grown-ups who are all a long way from home.
