    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      After Olivia returns home from the hospital, a brief shot shows Fin and Olivia watching the sunset from her dock. It's actually from an earlier scene in which Fin and Olivia had a conversation on the dock. They're wearing the same clothing.
    • Quotes

      Finbar McBride: It's funny how people see me and treat me, since I'm really just a simple, boring person.

    Size matters
    "The Station Agent" is a slice-of-dwarf-life character study which takes a long, hard look at little person Fin (Dinklage), a train buff who inherits an old, inactive train depot where he takes up residence and then becomes involved with the locals. This poignancy packed flick spends its full 88 minute run with a sometimes cheeky, sometimes plaintive and always human development a handful characters who all have problems of their own. An extraordinary first outing for writer/director McCarthy, this little indie received raves from critical corners and applause from the public at large making it an almost sure thing for potential viewers. A wonderful film which makes the point that size does matter when it's size of character and not stature. (A-)
