"I'm Nobody! Who are you?/ Are you – Nobody – too? /Then there's a pair of us! /Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know! /How dreary – to be – Somebody!/ How public – like a Frog – / To tell one's name – the livelong June –/ To an admiring Bog!" - Emily Dickinson

This is probably the most pretentious thing I've ever written, but the Station Agent immediately reminded me of this poem. The characters in it seemed to become a, sort of, community of loners and it was a very interesting and real story that unfolded, due to the great dialogue by McCarthy and the tremendous cast.

This is one of those movies where, no matter how you feel, you can't help but smile.

4/5 because Dinklage is absolutely phenomenal.

The movie is full of charm I found myself smiling throughout the whole movie, and the characters are great, all lonely and all completely unique, it's great to see how they bond and they do so in such a natural way that really draws you in. Obviously it's a theme that Thomas McCarthy cares about, he explores it again in the visitor and in up. Great stuff.

'The Station Agent' is a great movie--it's extremely well-made and subtle, but the characters are inventive while still managing to be real, and some scenes are powerful and striking. It is a quiet movie, but sometimes that is better.

A great cast and just-quirky-enough characters make director Tom McCarthy's debut a warm, resonant film about loneliness.

Fick lite samma känsla av denna som av Me And You And Everyone We Know: en film man vill leva i, med den lycka och tragik som medföljer.

I liked this small drama at the time, but I don't remember too much about it. I think I'd like it even more now, since I've greatly enjoyed Tom McCarthy's two successive films, and because Peter Dinklage is awesome.

I really liked this. My only gripe is that it was slightly unfulfilling plot-wise. Otherwise it's very solid, Dinklage was great.

Flawed, but made from the soul. Overacted (curiously from every actor except the protagonist), but charming at the same time. Joyful little film. It reminded me of the spirit of films like "Bottle Rocket" (1996).

Awesome. A great watch with a delightful script and lovely characters. Loved the way this movie deals with various themes, specially friendship.

On one level, there’s not a lot to this film. It doesn’t try to be funny, it doesn’t try to be dramatic… it doesn’t really try to be anything, other than just to be. There’s a certain sense of abruptness to the ending, because everything is played so low-key that it’s possible to not realize you’re in the epilogue of the movie. And yet, it’s a charming film in its own way. These are likeable characters, and it doesn’t hit you over the head with any of their personal issues, or present itself as some sort of triumph over adversity. They start out flawed characters, they end up flawed characters. But The Station Agent remains a likeable film despite not having any grand sense of purpose. Read full review.
