Sobre este filme

Winner of 2003 Sundance Film Festival awards, The Station Agent stars Emmy Award winner Patricia Clarkson (TV's Six Feet Under, Far From Heaven), Peter Dinklage (Elf) and Bobby Cannavale (TV's 24, Third Watch) in a comedy about friendship that will have you smiling long after the final credits. Fin McBride (Dinklage), a loner with a passion for trains, inherits an abandoned train station in the middle of nowhere - a place that suits him just fine because all he wants is to be alone. But that is not to be. Soon after moving in, he discovers his isolated depot is more like Grand Central Station. There's Olivia (Clarkson), a distracted and troubled artist, and Joe (Cannavale)j, a friendly Cuban with an insatiable hunger for conversation. With absolutely nothing in common, they find their isolated lives coming together in a friendship none of them could foresee.

Classificações e resenhas

This is a character-driven movie that is quiet and thoughtful, so don't go into it expecting high drama or an action-driven plot. However, if you are a fan of Peter Dinklage's work, you will enjoy this movie, because he is at his honest best and his interactions with the rest of the characters are wonderful and revealing. I've seen this movie several times and it's one that makes me think and appreciate the colorful characters in my own life. You never know what someone else is dealing with in their own lives until you take the time to get to know them. That's what this movie is all about, for me.

This was such a good movie that all through it I waited for the other shoe to drop in the form of a crappy ending... It never happened... This is a really good movie for the heart.

For all the terrible, and all the beautiful, this film has captured humanity at its core. What an amazing movie!
