Movie Review: The Station Agent

The Station Agent is a nice portrait kind of picture. A moment in time - Peter Dinklage is forced into a change of scenery by a sudden death and inherits a unique piece of property - a train station. Patricia Clarkson has lost her son to a tragic accident and can't pull herself out of depressions, Bobby Cannavale is dealing with a dying father and desperately wants new friends in this small town he's been drug back into, Michelle Williams is the local librarian who seems a bit doomed to only meet backwoods rednecks and love them...

Good performances all around, all four main characters definitely put their best foot forward on this one. Simple story, good acting, nice settings make for a good movie.
