Review of The Straight Story (1999) by Keith — 04 Jun 2008
Slow paced movie about a man who is determined to put past differences behind him and make amends with his brother. The beauty of America's heartland is shown expertly here, as is the beauty of the main character who touches many other lives in his quest to reunite with his brother.
Sparse soundtrack from longtime Lynch collaborator Badalamenti fits well with the pace of the movie. Last scene where the brothers sit in silence is magic. Highly recommended for men who have a brother.
Farnsworth should have gotten Oscar for this.
