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.

5 out of 10 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.

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