The Straight Story
Movie • 1999 • Drama
ReportA retired farmer and widower in his 70s, Alvin Straight learns one day that his distant brother Lyle has suffered a stroke and may not recover. Alvin is determined to make things right with Lyle while he still can, but his brother lives in Wisconsin, while Alvin is stuck in Iowa with no car and no driver's license. Then he hits on the idea of making the trip on his old lawnmower, thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual odyssey.

While watching cyclists, the camera whips back and forth quickly which made me feel sick. At the end when following a tractor the camera bounces up and down.

There's institutional ableism : a mother with an unspecified mental handicap has her children taken away after an accident, authorities judging her unfit to take care of her own children. This happens off screen.
