Title: Terrific sleeper.
Review: OK, here's the deal: if the name Patricia Clarkson appears anywhere in the cridits, then it is a must see film. Check out her work in "High Art," "Far from Heaven" and "Pieces of April," and you'll understand. "The Station Agent" is a wonderful, life affirming film about "real" people. Alright, I'm a sucker for "little" films like "Smoke Signals," "Mississippi Masala," "Ghost World," "Local Hero," "Il Postino," and 2003 saw "Lost in Translation" and "American Splendor" triumph with audiences and critics - I was in Heaven. Tom McCarthy wrote and directed. Peter Dinklage gives a remarkable performance - certainly one of the five best of the year. Bobby Cannavale makes you want to kill his character only just when you're about to tie him to the tracks you discover that he's grown on you. What are ya gonna do with this guy? Do yourself a favor and add this DVD to your collection, you'll never be sorry you did.
