"25.12. Yle Areena Uusintakatselu. Vähän samaan tapaan, kuin Mansikkapaikka, saa The Straight Story samastumaan vanhaan jäärään. Jäärällä on liikuttava tavoite tavata halvauksen saanut veljensä, jota jääräpäisesti toteuttaa tunnetusti satojen kilometrien matkan ruohonleikkurilla. Matkalle mahtuu lisää aidosti liikuttavia huomioita ihmisyydestä ja matkalla ei ole kyynisyydelle sijaa. Ja sehän toimii, outoa kyllä. Richard Farnsworth on upeassa roolissa."

Besides, even if they were flaws, which I don't think they are if anything they are strengths in regards to The Straight Story, the film has a number of things to love about it. For one thing, the Str” read more

"First viewing - June 27th If you'd told me when I was younger that one day a David Lynch film would be shown by Disney, I would not have believed you. And yet it's on Disney+. But hey, that finally allowed me to watch it after years of hearing great things about it. And its reputation is well-earned. The story was compelling and Richard Farnsworth delivers a fantastic performance. The film explores themes of regret and the passage of time, without overcommunicating the ideas. It's the least abs"
