The Station Agent

(R). Three people - one a lonesome dwarf, another a grieving mother - become friends in the wilds of New Jersey. Tender, funny, frank and true. With Peter Dinklage, Bobby Cannavale, Patricia Clarkson, Raven Goodwin, Michelle Williams. Written and directed by Tom McCarthy. 1:28 (adult content, language). At area theaters.

Like a chicken-and-egg sandwich, there's something a little disconcerting about a film such as 'The Station Agent,' which makes the point that a dwarf is just a man, but still gets loads of media attention because its lead actor is a dwarf. The result is a movie with an intellectual existence both on and off the screen, as well as an emotional resonance that is difficult to shake.
