Review of The Station Agent (2003) by Ruth M — 28 Jun 2008
Finally! A film that puts a little person in a lead role that isn't part of a wizard laden fantasy or freak show. Peter Dinklage is absolutely outstanding as the main character (Fin) who inherits an old, abandoned train station in rural New Jersey.
Thinking he could live there in peaceful solitude and relative isolation he moves in and, reluctantly, forms a friendship with the local hotdog vender (Joe) and a beautiful but grief-stricken woman (Olivia).
The Station Agent is one of those films that you HAVE to watch more than once. It's a story that, on the surface, seems simple but is deceptively layered and complex. I enjoy this movie more every time I pop it in the DVD player.
