The Straight Story

73-year-old Alvin Straight decides to travel from his home in Laurens, Iowa, to Mount Zion, Wisconsin, to mend his relationship with his estranged older brother. There's a slightly quirky twist – Alvin insists on making the 317-mile journey on his lawnmower.

Critic Reviews:

• " This is the act of forgiveness given the proper cinematic and moral weight it deserves, following one man across the country on a lawnmower as he tries to make amends. You will cry your face off. " – Jason Shawhan (Nashville Scene)

• " It's intriguing to watch the Lynch of Blue Velvet and Lost Highway feel his way toward a less wounding surrealism – into images that have power to hurt and will do none. " – Anthony Lane (New Yorker)

• " As far as I can see, [David Lynch] simply spotted a great story and embraced it. So will you. " – Joe Morgenstern (Wall Street Journal)
