In Transit
The Empire Builder is America’s busiest long-distance train route, running from Chicago to Seattle. Throughout these corridors sit runaways, adventurers, and loners – a myriad of passengers waiting to see what their journey holds. A touching and honest observation, co-directed by the iconic Albert Maysles, In Transit breathes life into the long commute, and contemplates the unknowns that lie at our final destination.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative through a blend of direct observation and intimate interview, relying on the rhythm of the journey itself—the monotony of the tracks punctuated by sudden flashes of connection. It explores not geography, but the internal landscape of its passengers, their hopes and quiet regrets.
What lingers after viewing is the profound sense of shared, transient humanity. The film turns a simple commute into a meditation on the stories we carry with us. — MovieFinder Editorial
