	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Every car is a sleeper on the stunningly tedious Night Train to Lisbon, a load of old windbaggery in which people keep remarking what a fascinating story is being told"
		Keith Uhlich Time Out	"Take the last train to anywhere but here. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Farran Smith Nehme New York Post	"That wonderful noirish title, it turns out, was just a front for a history lecture. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Andrew L. Urban Urbancinefile	"A melancholy film with a big, soft heart."
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"After barely stirring to life, 'Night Train to Lisbon' mercifully expires."
