PSYCHOLOGICAL thriller The Girl on the Train doesn’t need any more plaudits, but the accolade it deserves most will probably never feature on an Oscar nominee list. Emily Blunt, who plays sad, unreliable lead character Rachel, should get the gong for “best female screen drunk ever”.
Her portrayal of the excruciating, grubby reality of female alcoholism is, quite simply, the best I have ever seen. It is so realistic, so convincing and so unvarnished that it should be required viewing in schools.
