The Station Agent

The Station Agent is a movie about milk. That’s right, I said milk.

No, not the stuff your pour over your weetbix, but M.I.L.K.

Ok, I’ll spell it out for ya: Moments of Intimacy, Laughter and Kinship. Basically it’s a story about Fin, a vertically challenged loner who has a passion for trains, and inherits an abandoned depot in the middle of nowhere.

When he goes and lives at the depot, his life as a hermit is shattered by the annoying inclusion of two other loners, who seem attracted to him.

Wanting to get away from other people, and used to being the target of jokes and ridicule, Fin struggles with the attention, and at first gets annoyed and tries to get rid of his new found friends.

But due to their persistence, MILK happens. Three total opposites start to see something worthwhile in each other, and through each other they start to accept themselves.

Through comedy and tragedy, with a little romance thrown in for good measure, Station Agent keeps you hooked with a compelling story and some tense moments to a hilarious ending.
