A Sundance standout is coming to Netflix.

Posted Jul 24, 2025 at 3:22 PM UTC A Sundance standout is coming to Netflix. Train Dreams , which was one of my favorite films at the festival this year, is streaming on November 21st, and will also be coming to select theaters this fall. It's an understated and heartbreaking movie about coping with loss and change, telling a story that spans a single lifetime and is buoyed by some incredible performances from Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones. You can get a feel for it in the new trailer below. Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.

The Other Way Around review: A witty and cerebral romantic comedy

The Other Way Around      Director : Jonás Trueba Cert : None Genre : Romantic Drama Starring : Itsaso Arana, Vito Sanz, Fernando Trueba, Jon Viar, Andrés Gertrúdix, Ana Risueño Running Time : 1 hr 54 mins Søren Kierkegaard's 1843 philosophical work Repetition, with its focus on spiritual renewal and rejection of nostalgia, has found unexpected contemporary clout. The gloomy Dane's concept of repetition serves as a guiding framework in Jonás Trueba's The Other Way Around: a witty, cerebral film that initially evokes mature classics such as Scenes from a Marriage and Annie Hall, before veering into playfully modernist territory. Ale (Itsaso Arana), a film-maker, and her long-time partner Alex (Vito Sanz), an actor, decide to celebrate the end of their 14-year relationship with a heartfelt farewell party. Is the party a provocation? Just a little, but it's an idea inspired by something Ale's father (played by Trueba's real-life father, veteran director Fernando Trueba) once said. He, however, is as unsettled by the notion as most of the former couple's friends. Some are dismayed by the break-up of their 'romantic heroes'; others simply won't accept it: 'Everybody knows you'll get back together,' says Ale's father, as he hands her the Kierkegaard text. No matter how many assurances are given that both parties are fine with the uncoupling, nothing seems to soothe their largely aghast social circle. READ MORE References to Hegelian synthesis and a tarot deck inspired by Ingmar Bergman's marriage to Liv Ullman lightly pepper a script, co-written by the director and stars Arana and Sanz, that plays Brechtian games. A preview screening of Ale's film-in-progress – starring Alex – turns out to be the very film we're watching. 'Is it circular or linear?' asks one viewer in a moment that doubles as a spoiler alert. Trueba's film is both, as it leans into the stars' easy, domestic chemistry. Romantic comedies typically demand an easy reconciliation. The Other Way Around, although ponderous in places, is skilful enough to leave the viewer rooting for precisely the opposite. It's a neat trick: like pulling a tablecloth from under dishes in reverse.
