Overview
Two lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for both of them.
There are a handful of movies that can tell us a lot about one’s choice in movies. For a long time that movie was The Station Agent for me – I would recommend it to someone and wait for their reaction to it. I don’t necessarily want to hear if they like it or didn’t like it. I wanted to see at what level they appreciated the film.
In this movie the premise is simple: a man decides that he has had enough of another man, who is his friend. The film never strays far from this theme. I can see that some people watched this film and thought “nothing happens in this movie”, and that’s a shame, because so much happened in this movie if you peel pack the layers. I also can’t remember the last time that I saw such a well-acted movie. Gleeson and Firth are always fantastic together, but I can’t recall Farrell being better than he is in this role. And the supporting actors…. just incredible.
And on top of everything else, it is an unbelievable movie to look at.
