Review: The Station Agent

[yesthattom]

Sweet, quirky film. Takes place in rural New Jersey (so it gets an extra +1 point from me). A dwarf that prefers to be alone inherits an abandoned train station and finds friends he didn’t expect.

If you like quirky indie film with subtle humor (i.e. it is slow but if you don’t change the channel you’ll laugh out loud) I recommend it.

Oh, the town and location is real. Check out the wikipedia photo of the train station!

The star is your age and grew up in/around Morristown, too.

Are you serious? That's amazing! I wish I had known him.

I wonder what school he went to.

Delbarton. He was a good guy, but volatile and prone to anger. No surprise - he had a rough time with it all. He talks about it in interviews now.

There's a wiki entry on him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Dinklage

Oh and with all that, I should add it's a FRICKING FANTASTIC movie and Dinklage makes it.
