Actor and playwright Tom McCarthy makes his feature film debut as a writer/director with the quirky comedy drama The Station Agent. In New Jersey, Finbar McBride (Peter Dinklage) is a four-foot-tall lonely man who chooses to live the life of a hermit in an abandoned train yard following the death of his friend. While he is there, he unexpectedly meets and befriends a couple of fellow loners. Troubled Olivia (Patricia Clarkson) is an artist devastated by the loss of her son and separation from her husband, while carefree and friendly Joe (Bobby Cannavale) runs a hot dog stand. The three unlikely friends each deal with their urge to connect compared with their individual need for isolation. Also starring Raven Goodwin, Paul Benjamin, and Michelle Williams. The Station Agent won the Audience award at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, RoviIf You Like this movie you can streaming The Station Agent movie without downloading HERE

Review For The Station Agent
Mr. Dinklage projects both size and intelligence in the fascinating reticence of his face.Andrew Sarris-New York Observer
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.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
The Station Agent never leaves its sleepy patch of New Jersey. But when it's over, you know you've been somewhere.
Charles Taylor-Salon.com
The powerfully understated charmer, The Station Agent, is nothing more - and nothing less -- than the quiet study of a gently unfurling friendship between three misfits.
Megan Lehmann-New York Post
For 88 all-too-brief minutes, we get to hang out with very companionable people, eavesdrop on their small talk and come to know them intimately, perhaps more intimately than we can get to know our own family members.
Joe Baltake-Sacramento Bee
It's a gem to savor.
Kathy Cano Murillo-Arizona Republic
There isn't a character, location or situation in The Station Agent that could exist anywhere other than in a screenplay.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
A quiet joy with breathtaking performances.
Nell Minow-Common Sense Media
Peter Dinklage details Fin?s solitude in single glances, but his countenance also warms to eventual friendship. It?s an attenuated, reserved, realistic performance ? bolstered when we learn Fin is silent because shouting only summons repressed rage.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com
a charmingly simple character study
Jay Antani-Cinema Writer
...a sweet art film that is unapologetic as it is memorable. Peter Dinklage's performance is poetic and pure as any you will ever observe on screen or off.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
Charming fable about three misfits who overcome personal and social isolation and learn the meaning of friendship and community in the unlikely place of rural New Jersey
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
A pleasurably quaint tale.
Nick Schager-Lessons of Darkness
...watching these friends interact is what the movie is about, not what they look like, not what they do, not what they talk about, but how they feel toward one another.
John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis
The movie has humor that's not derived from ridicule and an appeal based on the idea that relationships can be a comforting buffer in an often cruel world.
Judith Egerton-Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
It's The Station Agent's meditation on the smaller things in life that make it such a big deal.
Damon Wise-Empire Magazine
The brilliance of Peter Dinklage's performance as the ironclad loner is that he doesn't much care
James Christopher-Times [UK]
As comforting, a bit hokey, and predictable as a CBS Sunday Night Movie, this intimate film should play well on television.
Kent Turner-Film-Forward.com
Go see The Station Agent. It's one the year's best films and I sincerely hope that it is not overlooked.
Jeff Otto-IGN Movies
This is a gem of a movie that, like its protagonist, boasts a fiercely independent spirit full of discreet optimism and deadpan humour.
Stella Papamichael-BBC
It might almost be a subgenre: the Accidental Family film. It's enjoyable and a welcome break from the studio pictures, but it's familiar to you even as you're watching it.
Jake Euker-F5 (Wichita, KS)
...indie flavor-of-the-month Patricia Clarkson is so predictable in her quirky style that you can set your watch by her.
Thomas Delapa-Boulder Weekly
Illustrates much of what is good and some of what is bad about American independent cinema.
James Verniere-Boston Herald
A little gem.
David N. Butterworth-Movie Boeuf
'[The Station Agent] is quietly effective, touching one moment, hilarious the next'
Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly
TagLine The Station Agent Loneliness is much better when you have got someone to share it with.
