When his only friend dies, a man born with dwarfism moves to rural New Jersey to live a life of solitude, only to meet a chatty hot dog vendor and a woman dealing with her own personal loss. The Station Agent benefits from excellent work from Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson, Bobby Cannavale and Michelle Williams. The film's script is simple and so it's it's story, the characters are very likable and funny too, the movie showcases great messages also about friendship, love and basically the meaning of not being alone in life and continuing moving forward despite the problems that we're facing. Definitely an indie film that doesn't disappoint and people will see that for sure. (A+)

This movie hasn't start or end. First time I was watched ''The Station Agent'' when I was in high school at mid-2000s and my second watch earlier 2018. All the characters and events during the movie feel so much in life. Something like you're witness three people life and relationships between each other for a short time period and that's it. Movie just give you a small look of their life, not more. My thought about this situation movie did this proper way and makes different experience for audience.

I loved this movie. Very nice piece. Very understated, slow, not a huge amount of action goes on, but it has heart. The acting is excellent, led by Peter Dinklage in his first ever substantive role (not just being a bit player cast for being a dwarf), with strong performances also by the rest of the cast. Very enjoyable film, that runs on the strength of its characters. Each character is well developed and one feels that one gets to know these people a fair bit, even just in the span of an hour and a half.

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.
