for the theme of reconciliation and its low key approach. I like David Lynch and thought it his most accessible film yet. Harry Dean Stanton and Sissy Spacek are 2 of my all-time favorite USA actors and didn't disappoint me (they never have)
Very human theme without the outright Lynch weirdness or the standard knee deep Disney treacle; I thought the film worked very well given such an unlikely pairing
Not the depth and breadth of a Bunuel film; but not typical Hollywood formula garbage either
Alvin Straight is really facing the highway and his own demons and that is story enough; he's really a bit of a hero
