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. 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), 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...
Winner of three awards at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, 'The Station Agent' also scooped a BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay.

Great quirky film I have been reccommended this film by people whose taste I trust. And they were right- this is a lovely film- real insight, humour and characterisation. The pace is good and there are sublties which we don't expect from American films. We loved it!

Tracks and Trains
The Station Agent is a superb film. Suddenly trainspotting comes to have a unique life of its own with heartwarming characters. The film portrays the bygone great days of American railways by showing it to be a hobby alive and well amongst people. The dread of a remote existence by a loner, soon turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. A heartwarming film with characters weaving together their lives by pure coincidence. You will never love trains forever after this movie. Simply wonderful and beautiful photography and characters.

Quirky and heart warming This is a film which grows on you. It's unhurried in pace, and the humour is subtler than most of us are used to in American cinema. But it's about real people, and we get to like them as we see more of them. Because we like them, we want a happy ending. Definitely recommended.

It ends too soon I'm just getting into it. To me the story is only half-way. Then it stops. I know the writer/director planned it that way, but for most audience members, the charm so carefully won was much diminished by the sawn-off ending. The acting from the three principles is great. There are some off-beat funny moments. Usually rich, but in the end, just half a story.
