IMDB

A loner dwarf, Fin (Peter Dinklage), inherits a train depot. He goes to live in it and meets Joe, an overly friendly guy who parks his concession van across the street. Joe attempts to make friends with Fin. Fin also meets Olivia (Patricia Clarkson), who also attempts to befriend him. He's hard to get through to because of his size and the way people usually treat him.
I highly enjoyed this film. It's a dramedy, which I don't mind. I like my dramas to have some humor in them sometimes. It's a very subtle movie and the performances are excellent. I really love Patricia Clarkson. She's always great.

9/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
