| Movie - The Station Agent |
The Station Agent is quite
possibly the best movie you’ve never heard of.
The story
revolves around Finbar McBride, masterfully played by Peter Dinklage, who has a passion for railroads. He works in a model RR store, but
unpredictable events land him in unforeseen circumstances. A quiet, solitary
man, he tries to keep to himself, but finds himself entangled in the affairs of
Joe and Olivia, portrayed to perfection by
Bobby Cannavale and Patricia Clarkson.
The movie is a
slice-of-life movie about the things that bring us together and the things that
drive us apart. There are deeply funny moments, but there are also touching,
and sad moments.
This is one of
those movies that sneaks up on you, but then stays with you. I suspect that if
you like this movie as much as I did, you’ll find it something of a touchstone
to which you compare other movies. And you’ll suddenly be recommending it to
all of your friends.
