Caught this on DVD because I recently signed up for Blockbuster Total access and because it is set in New Jersey and was filmed in New Jersey and Bucks County PA.

This was a true pleasure and a wonderful surprise. Diminutive Peter Dinklage plays a world weary and terribly lonely man man with dwarfism who moves to rural New Jersey when he only friend and employer passes away suddenly leaving him an abandoned railway depot into which he moves. Dinklage's character greets every interaction with a grimace, justly as so many serve only to embarass and humiliate him.
Once in New Jersey he slowly and reluctantly becomes friends but not friendly with a chatty Italian hot dog vendor(Bobby Cannavale) and and grieving local artist(Patricia Clarkson).

Totally recommended and worth the search if you don't have an online account, which by the way, I strongly recommend. I have rented about 10 DVD's in the last month for $9.99 per month.
