A dwarf inherits an abandoned train depot in New Jersey that is supposed be out in the middle of no where and lonely. Surprise, surprise...

This movie uses the art of images to express itself with a screenplay short on dialogue. Kudos to the director and producer for making that dialogue unnecessary as the pictures are the main form of communication. This movie definitely has a different feel from what we normally are fed and I found it delicious. My wife loved it too.

The critics are very pumped up over this film and in my opinion it deserves it. Check out this list of nominations and awards.

"Short on dialogue." Nice double meaning there Richard. I enjoyed this one too. Check out "City of God." A violent Brazilian indie that was very well made. Great character development for this kind of almost documentry, especially tough to do when shot mainly with hand helds.
