The Station Agent

I really enjoyed this film. The acting is great, the script is sweet and the visuals are nice and quiet. Peter Dinklage is charming as the dwarf who just wants to be left alone. Bobby Cannavale and Patricia Clarkson are very enjoyable, one for the highs and one for the lows. It felt at times like a realistic version of a Hal Hartley film. It’s a first time effort by a longtime actor named Thomas McCarthy. Guys like him are great to see in recurring character roles, and now it’s awesome to see the character and charm he crafted in this film.
Favorite moment: The look Fin gives to the grocer when she takes his picture.
