Title: Poignant and Moving
Product review: In my book this is an excellent movie, but one you just have to relax into and let unfold. The movie isn't so much about Alvin Straight as it is about the people he meets and how they interact with him as he slowly journeys to see his brother. I think it's one of David Lynch's best movies, but one for which the average Lynch fan will probably walk away shaking his head. Nothing much happens and a lot happens. The things that happen have to do with how people see each other and how they change. Richard Farnsworth, who was old and sick himself, plays with great dignity the old and sick Alvin Straight. If you watch this movie with an open mind, I think you'll be affected by it.
