The Girl on the Train review- Blunt

A woman gets caught up in a missing persons case as her life unravels.

Based on Paula Hawkins 2015 bestseller, The Girl on the Train is a fairly twisty thriller which puts main character Emily Blunt through the mill.

Rachel is a wreck- divorced, alcoholic and obsessed with her former husband’s new family, and we get to witness her further collapse throughout the film. That gives Blunt plenty to play with in her most layered and unglamorous role to date, and she’s pretty much terrific.
