At first I wasn't too sure to like it or not, but after 30 min or maybe less I was captivated by its sweetness

A very quiet film, if you will, about a man who only wants to be left alone, but meets a woman and a younger, very vibrant man. Then the roles are turned, when it's the woman who wants to be left alone.

Pretty solid performances by the three leads. A powerful film in its bittersweet simplicity.

Has a unique but fun sense of humor, and the dramatic elements aren't to bad either. Good tale of the socially awkward.

The Station Agent is one of the bright stars of recent American independent cinema. It stands as a capably-written and directed film from Tom McCarthy who avoids overplaying his hand as he does in his later film, The Visitor, and instead allows his characters here to live and relate to one another without descending into speechifying. I especially like that the film is able to treat its somewhat oddball cast of characters without irony, allowing them to exist as simple, struggling human beings.

What a sleeper of a movie. It's slow pace somehow hides the fact that even repeated viewings work well enough. When you care about the people in a movie, you don't mind it if you're just invited to do nothing with them.

This movie is a pleasant surprise, I did not expect much from him. It's funny, intriguing and even moving. A short story well told, with smart dialogues, moments of introspection, intelligent humour, captivating characters, all presented very subtly. And a good cast. I recommend.

An excellent small film (no pun intended).

Another masterpiece from the great Thomas McCarthy

Not much here, really

What a great one!

just watched it for the 2nd time last night, as enjoyable as the 1st time! bumps it from 90 to 95!

A quirky little character piece, though its a little slow. learned something about trains too.

Sweet and funny, way better than McCarthy's 2nd pretentious indie flick. And now the Entourage joke: Ari: "You're one of the biggest actors in this town Peter" Peter Dinklage: "What is that, a play on words, dickhead ?!"
