Amazing movie just like the straight story

One of the best of the golden age of cinema! The film is great along the lines of Five easy pieces and the Straight Story! Art Carney is incredible. I love all three of those films. More people should see this because it's truly great. I loved every minute of it.

"Straight Story" and "Five Easy Pieces" are excellent comparisons, road movies about lost souls filled with interesting characters. Two others come to mind as well: "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (also starring Ellen Burstyn) and, more recently, "Flirting With Disaster."
