The Freak's
Rating: B- :
With all the lack of originality out there in
mainstream American films, it is nice to see
stories that teeter on the verge of extremely
creative. The sadness with The Station
Agent is that it drifts off into a melodramatic
mess near its final act. The acting is
superb here with great performances by Peter
Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson and especially Bobby
Cannavale. I was in love with the film 2/3
of the way through, but then it began to retread
dramas past and have inexplicable dropoff with
character chemistry. Had the script been
tighter here, you have an A film for sure.
