    If I hadn't known it was David Lynch I wouldn't have known it was David Lynch. Touching and inspirational.

    A sweet, simple and beautiful masterpiece. American cinema at its very best!

    Disney and David Lynch work together on a film and what is the result? The most humane film Lynch has ever done. Gone are the visual elements and non stories that have helped create some of the directors work (Mullholand Dr., Eraserhead, Blue Velvet.) and his worst (Dune, Lost Hi...( read more)ghway) The Straight Story is nothing revolutionary and can be too slow at times.

Farnsworth played this character whilst he was suffering from a terminal illness and this helps a lot of his wisdom shine through. Moving, poignant and a different style of movie from Lynch.
