The Station Agent

Happy New Year to everyone; I hope that you had a pleasant evening the night before.

I went to see The Station Agent. I have been wanting to see it for about the last month or so, but just haven't found the time to make it out to a theater. Today, I managed to find the time, though.

It's a good indie flick. A dwarf who inherits a train depot in a small NJ town, he meets some of the local people and discovers that he doesn't dislike the company of people anywhere near as much as he thought he did. There were lots of good moments in this story; the coffee guy who talks continuously to cover up his obvious loneliness, the recently divorced woman who just lost her son and may be viewing the new owner of the depot as a substitute and the librarian who is definitely viewing him as quite the dish.

This is a good movie for those who are into plot, character and acting. Probably a skip if you like things that blow up real good. Watch time 1:03
