Review of The Straight Story (1999) by Timothy M — 16 Aug 2010
Great little film. I guess I'm seeing all of Lynch's uncharacteristic films before I get into his more typical work, but I'm enjoying it all the same (well... maybe not Dune). While outwardly simple, the film works in very very subtle ways, and Lynch's handling of fairly straightforward material is interesting.
It's as though it's a story that could easily be handled by some hack and it would still work, but it's what Lynch brings to the table that makes it stand out. I'm also greatly amused by the opening title of "Walt Disney pictures presents a David Lynch film".
