A man who just wants to be left alone
moves into a rural town's abandoned train depot. However, another
man who operates a mobile snack shop and has an insatiable appetite
for conversation insinuates himself into his life, and then a woman
whose young son has recently died is also brought into the mix. The
three do their best not to get too close to each other, but
eventually have to give in and admit that they do indeed care about
each other. With Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson, Bobby Cannavale,
Michelle Williams and Paul Benjamin. Directed by Tom McCarthy. [1:30]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A woman kisses a man, and a man kisses
a woman, and a man and a woman hug. Two men talk about whether one
of them has had sex with women. A man tries to get another man and a
woman together in a relationship. A man assumes that a man and a
woman slept together when she comes out of his house in the morning
(they did not). We see the side of a woman's breast and her bare
back as she wraps herself in a towel after bathing (she goes to her
door to greet two men while wrapped in the towel). A woman sits in
her bra and underwear, a man is shown bare-chested briefly while
changing his shirt. A woman wears low-cut, short tops that reveal
cleavage and bare midriff and a woman wears a mini-skirt that shows
her bare thighs. An unmarried woman says she's pregnant. A woman
says "I slept with a guy because he rolled his own cigarettes."
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - We hear a thud and see a man lying
motionless on the floor (he died). A woman talks about her young son
having died. A woman takes an overdose of pills trying to commit
suicide (we see her unconscious). A man shoves a woman to the ground
and shoves a man into a car. A car swerves on a road and nearly hits
a man walking on the shoulder (he jumps out of the way and falls
down a small hill), a car swerves on a road and nearly hits the same
man later (he jumps out of the way again and into brush). A woman
yells at a man, a man and a woman argue in person and over the
telephone. A man gets very drunk, stands on a bar stool, throws a
glass into the wall, falls off the chair, leaves the bar, falls onto
railroad tracks and a train approaches (we see him asleep on the
tracks the next morning). A woman spills hot coffee on her lap and
yells. A woman screams and drops books on the floor when she sees a
man for the first time. A woman falls on the floor when a ticket box
tips over on her. People repeatedly tease a man about his low
stature: they giggle, make jokes, point and make offensive comments.
