Very clever film. By the way, it really is three stories that are shown one after the other, but that are somewhat interwoven by a few links. And the fact that they take place in the same train of course.
The first part (Olmi) is beautiful. A very simple idea but with so much attention to detail and so atmospherically worked out. Really everything is perfect in this movie.
The second part also starts brilliantly with one of the best scenes I have ever seen, Kiarostami plays magnificently with the expectations and prejudices of the spectator. But after that it gets a bit stuck because of the caricatural characters, moreover he doesn't have that much to say. It is all funny, but rather empty.
The third part, by Loach, is wonderful. At first just amusing, then I feared for a moment that it would end too sentimentally but the fantastic ending really makes up for everything 
.
The whole is more than the sum of its parts, because you automatically start comparing the three stories and see them as one whole. Three times completely different characters, but the fact that they are on the same train (although each time in a different class) gives those differences more meaning.
The best 'multi-director film' I've seen, and generally one of the most interesting and enjoyable films I've seen this year.

Actually a triptych with three stories that take place on the same train that goes to Rome. A triptych that fortunately for me crescendo in entertainment. I couldn't do much with the first part of Olmi. I didn't feel much either, which made me glad that it was Kiarostami's turn. That capricious aunt was something for me, a bit caricatural at times, but still funny.
Then Loach could charm me more. It also seemed to be more of a banal story, but then that old fox somehow manages to grind his characteristic social themes into it. The world of those fanatic football supporters crosses the lives of the less fortunate and that fusion had something. No chemistry, because I found it a bit too forced, but I did find it an interesting idea. Also a nice balance between roughness, humor and drama.
