all of the emotional breadth of a lynch film and none of the surrealism. leave it to him to make something so lofty from a plot so grounded.
Very sweet story. The premise makes it sound ludicrous but it is worth your time. Makes you sympathetic to the elderly as much as Up did
A calming adventure movie with good story. Doesnt have that lynchlian surrealism but still good
This movie walked so Nomadland could run. Great directing keeps this movie from being mediocre. My grandparents would enjoy this movie.
David Lynch’s best hidden secret about life at the most basic and existential level. Less is certainly more in this little masterpiece
Truly unique. How did David Lynch make a G-rated movie for Disney? Nothing quite like it.
It offers a different perspective of being old and, at the same time attached to life.
It’s interesting that this is a g-rated Disney movie made by David Lynch, and it’s very traditional, not like his other films.
Absolutely beautiful road movie drama, great music, direction and cinematography with some superb performances. Must see movie
Simple and old-fashioned, but heartfelt, realistic and riveting.
