Forced to share the long ride and a tiny sleeping car with a larger than life Russian miner, the unexpected encounter leads the occupants of Compartment No. 6 to face major truths about human connection.
"COMPARTMENT NO. 6 evokes a powerful nostalgia for a type of loneliness we don't really have any more, and for the type of love that was its cure."
Variety
"Vulnerable women and dangerous men are clichés, but they're also turned on their heads in this smart, emotionally nuanced film that rarely goes where you expect."
New York Times
"This is a melancholic drama but also one that's unexpectedly uplifting in its insights into human solitude and connection."
