The Station Agent movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: A film of small pleasures. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Despite its humble nature, the film is downright uplifting without being vulgar, flashy or embarrassing. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... one of my favorites ... Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: 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. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: [A] beautifully sincere, character-driven film. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: A delicate, thoughtful and often hilarious take on loneliness. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Dinklage's face and demeanor, his sense of solitude, ballasts some of the film's loonier episodes. There's always something on his mind, and you're always wondering what it is. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Deft and funny. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: There's a lot to discover in The Station Agent. New faces, terrific acting, gentle directing and more than a few geeky train facts. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Strange, often funny film. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Slight, sweet and smart, it's a modest crowd-pleaser that doesn't make you feel like a yahoo for cheering, and it displays a mastery of tone that the big boys would do well to study. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: [The Station Agent] brings a fine sense of place, a saving humor, and a delicate appreciation of the way we sit tight on our hurts and losses, or run from them in order to avoid further pain. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: A movie with an intellectual existence both on and off the screen, as well as an emotional resonance that is difficult to shake. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A surprisingly funny film. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: This Sundance winner deserves every accolade it's earned so far for the way the director and his cast sidestep the script's inherent obstacles of eccentricity and whimsy. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: This exemplary debut film by writer-director Thomas McCarthy has a fine sense of comic timing and a rare generosity of spirit. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Mr. Dinklage projects both size and intelligence in the fascinating reticence of his face. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Yes, this is a comedy, but it's also sad, and finally it's simply a story about trying to figure out what you love to do and then trying to figure out how to do it. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: The Station Agent never leaves its sleepy patch of New Jersey. But when it's over, you know you've been somewhere. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: As touching and original a movie as you're likely to see this year. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A small movie with a big heart. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: The kind of film that's sentimental but not sloppy, that invites you into its warm heart without offending your cynical head. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The Station Agent's gentle wit and hard-won insights feel like the product of someone who has observed the world around him with an empathetic eye. Read more
Laura Sinagra, Village Voice: It's Dinklage who ensures that the film skirts mawkishness. Read more
