Nice Touches
24 March 2006
Finbar is a real small person with a big heart, but big people are so annoying, he'd rather live alone in an old railroad station he has come to inherit from his miniature railroad enthusiast boss. Not only does he experience the loss of his friend, but Finbar seems to be having an existential crisis, which makes for vulnerability. Ask anyone who has lived in isolation for a length of time: this predicament is unnatural for the human animal.

Enter other lonely hearts, the son of an invalid, hawking hotdogs, Bobby Cannavale, Mr. Bilingual. Enter a divorced artist with a recently deceased son, Patricia Clarkson. Clarkson proves herself incapable of driving her SUV which gives us some chuckles when little Finbar must avoid catastrophe.

Look, nothing earthshaking in this Indy production, but some nice touches here and there with likable eccentrics.
