Description

A retired farmer and widower in his 70s, Alvin Straight learns one day that his distant brother Lyle has suffered a stroke and may not recover. Alvin is determined to make things right with Lyle while he still can, but his brother lives in Wisconsin, while Alvin is stuck in Iowa with no car and no driver's license. Then he hits on the idea of making the trip on his old lawnmower, thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual odyssey.

Lynch, in an uncharacteristic manner of directing! The film is Straight Like a stick! Indeed, life is the best screenwriter and teacher! I definitely advise you! 9\10

starting to watch, it seemed that the movie would be boring and maybe I wouldn't like it at all, but it's not that simple. It's a wonderful film, with its own soulful atmosphere. the story shown in the film, which is based on real events, is very kind. The story is about a man who wants to see his brother, whom he has not spoken to for many years because of the usual resentment. and even a road of several hundred kilometers does not stop him and he sets out on a very unusual transport. That's how this road movie starts.
It's a wonderful movie.

A peaceful movie. Angelo Badalamenti's music, as always, is beyond praise. I love roadmovies in general and am very glad that I watched another wonderful film in this genre.

I was planning to watch a completely different movie today, but the plans have changed.

This is a very sincere, bright and kind film, after which you want to believe in people. Angelo Badalamenti's music only makes you more immersed in this cozy, almost utopian atmosphere.

The film is about forgiveness, mutual help, the weight of years, mistakes made and goodness created. A simple, kind story

I didn't think that you, David, would leave us so soon, the world would miss you very much. Peace be upon your ashes, Maestro
