The Straight Story

Richard from Sligo, 05 May 2009

If you are looking for a hollywood blockbuster, go and look somewhere else. This is a little gem that escaped my radar up until now. It is a very slow-paced gentle film with superb acting, and is one of the best films I have seen. I cannot praise this one highly enough.

Simple and moving

Bridget from Dublin, 21 Aug 2009

Slow pace but don't let that put you off, great film about people, regret and the idea that its never too late.

What's it about....

Alvin's eyesight is poor, he has little money and he can't stand the thought if being driven anywhere. So when he discovers his estranged brother has suffered a stroke he decides to make the journey by the only means of transport available to him - a John Deere lawnmower. Hundreds of miles, six weeks and several breakdowns later Alvin Straight finally pulls up at his destination, where the fate of his brother awaits him.
