The Straight Story Review

By Joe Lozito ★★★★☆

MOVIE TITLE	The Straight Story
RELEASE YEAR	1999
MPAA RATING	G
OUR RATING	★★★★☆
SUMMARY	David Lynch, off all people, creates a thoughtful, G-rated tale based on the true story of Alvin Straight - the man who drove his lawnmower 300 miles to see his ailing brother - which features a flawless performance by Richard Farnsworth. Like his prized John Deere, it's slow-moving, but moving none the less.
