Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

andrewfleming-57891 Having heard so much good about this film I was disappoinnted by how mundane and uninteresting it was. The plot is all very familiar and there are no real moments of excitementment of surprise. The jokes are very repetitive. The cast don a fine job. However, the characters are poorly written and despite the good acting I never really became attached to any of the characters. The film is also very short and seems rushed. All in all, this film is just fine, but nothing extraordinary and not very enjoyable.

ssaimeri The Station AgentThe Station Agent is a quiet story of a man (Peter Dinklage) and his quest to go throughout life unnoticed. Unfortunately for the main character he cannot, his quietly calm demeanor does little to affect the notions of an average man or woman who sees him.Everywhere he goes there is a break in the script of this normal man's life. A gasp from an unsuspecting bystander, a quick joke from a naïve group of children, the noticing never stops for Fin who dreams of unsolicited solitude.The movie begins with the main character moving to rural New Jersey as a result of his best friend dying. In his best friends will he is left a train stop and a small parcel of land. So with little holding him to his current life he makes the quick decision to head to Newfoundland, New Jersey.Fin shows up intending on nothing but a quiet life in a land of fewer people but receives something unexpected. Joe (Bobby Cannavale), a Cuban American who's helping his father with business, introduces himself to Fin the first morning he is there and doesn't let him rest until they are comfortable friends. Olivia (Patricia Clarkson) the third member of this unlikely friendship is a woman whose heart is pure but fragile and wants to open up again but is unsure how. The three friends navigate their lives separately at first but converge slowly and surely as the film progresses, creating a relationship reserved for those who have experienced a depth of emotion that most cannot. Love, Loss, and Empathy are the themes of this wonderful story and they create a fabric that I have seen little of in this textile industry.

Python Hyena The Station Agent (2003): Dir: Thomas McCarthy / Cast: Peter Dinkledge, Bobby Cannavale, Patricia Clarkson, Michelle Williams, Raven Goodwin: Beautiful film about friendship and seclusion. It stars Peter Dinklage as a dwarf who inherits an abandon railway station. He moves into the station in hopes of avoiding people but is interrupted by a roadside refreshment restaurant run by Bobby Cannavale. He is nearly hit twice by a car driven by Patricia Clarkson, a divorced woman still grieving the loss of her son. Other characters include the school girl who observes him from a distance, and the librarian dating schmuck whom he befriends. Directed by Thomas McCarthy who combines drama and humour and is backed by top notch acting performances. While roles for midgets and dwarfs are hard pickings, Dinkledge nails this role as someone who grows to love in unexpected ways even after low periods. Cannavale earns comic points in his unintended intrusion. Clarkson steals scenes as the depressed woman whom is aided by Dinkledge at a crucial moment. Michelle Williams is given a predictable yet pivotal role as a female whom Dinkledge attempts to protect. Underrated independent gem with flawless performances and a witty screenplay. God said that man should not be alone. Here is a film that underlines that statement. We should all have a station agent. Score: 10 / 10

The Couchpotatoes I don't get why this movie is highly rated because honestly it is a boring movie. I don't say the actors are bad, because they are not, but the story is really boring. I almost fell asleep a couple times. The dwarf Finlab McBride played by Peter Dinklage is such a boring person. A frustrated person that doesn't want to do anything, that is answering every single question with a "no" "yes" or "I don't know". That's what the whole movie is about. A couple of nice people that try to have a conversation with the most boring and unpleasant guy ever. It is so over the top because honestly nobody would continue trying to have a conversation with a guy like that after being pushed away so many times. It's completely unreal that people continue trying to be friends with an irritating human being like his character. I give it a six stars rating and I'm being very generous today.
