The Station Agent

For all the Game of Thrones fans out there whose favorite character is Tyrion, I have two words for you: Station Agent. The 2003 film The Station Agent was one of Peter Dinklage's first big projects and it put him on the radar for his current role. The Station Agent is a masterwork in the study of loneliness.

Peter Dinklage's character, Fin, has been mocked his whole life for being small. As a result, Fin has grown into a supremely private, quiet recluse, who refuses even the most well-meaning attempts at companionship. The Station Agent is about him slowly forgoing that lifestyle. Patricia Clarkson, Bobby Cannavale, and Michelle Williams play supporting roles as the people who steadily bring Finn out of his shell.

It is a slow, deliberate film that manages to take the viewer on an 88 minute journey that, despite very little action, will leave you very pleased. Here's a clip:
