The Station Agent

Mr. Dinklage projects both size and intelligence in the fascinating reticence of his face.

While many movies reintroduce us to the same old types, The Station Agent is an original -- you've never seen these people on screen before, and it's a pleasure to make their acquaintance.

The Station Agent never leaves its sleepy patch of New Jersey. But when it's over, you know you've been somewhere.

The powerfully understated charmer, The Station Agent, is nothing more - and nothing less -- than the quiet study of a gently unfurling friendship between three misfits.

It's a gem to savor.

As touching and original a movie as you're likely to see this year.

For the first time in his career, Dinklage was allowed to play someone with dimension, passion, and an identity beyond his physical attributes, and he makes the most of it.

There isn't a character, location or situation in The Station Agent that could exist anywhere other than in a screenplay.

A quiet joy with breathtaking performances.

Peter Dinklage details Fin’s solitude in single glances, but his countenance also warms to eventual friendship. It’s an attenuated, reserved, realistic performance — bolstered when we learn Fin is silent because shouting only summons repressed rage.

a charmingly simple character study

...a sweet art film that is unapologetic as it is memorable. Peter Dinklage's performance is poetic and pure as any you will ever observe on screen or off.
