Review of The Station Agent (2003) by Drake T — 05 Jul 2012
People connecting with one another, in the most quaint and mundane of places. I won't deny there's a sweet intrigue between our protagonists, their complex relationships and how they gradually move from point A to B and finally C in their lives.
But honestly, there's nothing about the premise that's genuinely enthralling, it's painfully character driven with no consequence. Perhaps I'm desensitized, but I feel like their story could have been told in a premise of greater grandeur, as it stands it's almost one dimensional.
Oh woe is me! I am a dwarf! Boo hoo I lost my child and I see you as him! My dad and I own a shitty coffee truck but I have a positive outlook on life! Look at us relate to each other in one boring set piece to the next! Please...
