The Station Agent is one of my top ten favorite films. This is what independent cinema is all about; a quirky, heartfelt little movie about a misantrhopic dwarf who forms friendships with two slightly dysfunctional people. It's a bittersweet comedy. When I saw it in a theater on first release, I left feeling that I'd just seen art done by people who loved art and loved people. I've watched it a half-dozen times since, and it never ceases to charm me. I don't have children, but if you do, it's a family-friendly film that I believe would be a wonderful aid in their character development, as they'll see someone who is very different from themselves - a dwarf - is, in reality no different than anyone else.

Great film. Amazing character development. One can relate to and empathize with all the main characters. Wonderful "slice of life". It's a keeper. :)
