Fantastic film. You can tell a lot about a person's taste in film based on what they think about a movie like this. This is why I watch indie movies. https://ihatebadmovies.com/movies/the-station-agent/

This feels like a low-budget Wes Anderson film. Lots of awkward silences and strange character interactions, paired with a plot that's content to just stroll along in no specific direction, picking and choosing new angles like dandelions growing up between the cracks in the sidewalk. At times it can be a very good look at what brings people together and what splits them apart, but at others it’s run-of-the-mill buddy movie with three very different leading parts. The plot takes a turn for the serious in the final act that kind of sours the mojo it had working earlier on, then coasts to a nondescript anti-ending that’s basically a black screen dropped in the middle of a generic scene. Has its moments.
