"The Straight Story" is a kind, heartwarming true story about Alvin Straight, who traveled from Iowa to Wisconsin on a lawn mower to see his brother after the latter suffered a stroke. A rather change of genre from his usual films, David Lynch's direction was excellent, captivating, & dramatic, while at the same time the acting was very good (Richard Farnsworth was nominated for the Best Leading Actor Oscar), the scenery & music were beautiful, & the whole story was amazing & caring; makes you appreciate for looking out for your family & make amends if things got out of hand.

One of the best films of the 1990s & by David Lynch!
