The Straight Story (1999)
Should I see it?
Yes.



David Lynch's most striking film. For all of his perverse, ridiculous, self-consumed, unwatchable movies, Lynch shows that under all of that foulness is the heart of a talented filmmaker. Richard Farnsworth's natural, down-to-Earth charm is on full display in this film about a simple old man who drives his rider mower across state lines to visit his ailing brother.

Lynch relishes in the calm beauty of the upper midwest. His quiet film may not have a lot going on but the simplicity of the story is refreshing. This is an overlooked gem of a movie.
