Where to Watch The Station Agent
- Vincent Reggiannini15 januari 2026This is a thoroughly charming little movie with slightly off-kilter people slowly interacting with each other in a small town. Peter Dinklage is Finn, a soft-spoken man with a simple desire to be alone, and pursue his hobby of chasing trains - although he finally admits to people that he is really not a “train chaser: because he doesn’t have a camera, and he never learned to drive. The fact that he’s a little person doesn’t seem to bother anyone but himself, as I am sure a life time of being gawked at and asked strange, uncomfortable questions has taught him to avoid people. After he inherits a small “Station” in a small town, the local townsfolk slowly become part of his life. They all had their quirks, as does FInn but the film moves along at a very slow and deliberate pace. This remarkable film was shot in 20 days on 16mm film - truly a remarkable feat in modern terms, yet is never feels rushed or artificial. The movie doesn’t startle you with deep meaning mysteries, or twists - it’s just meant to sit back and enjoy the oddities of people from all walks of life. Just enjoy the simplicity and really think about that cross you think you bear - you might think your’s is the worst to deal with, but others may disagree..
