The Straight Story
Ed Gonzales, a critic for "Slant Magazine," liked Carlos Sorín's directorial work, and the film reminded him of some well-regarded American directors: "It's the film's crisscrossing narrative and sense of community that brings to mind Altman's "Short Cuts," but the pursuit of enlightenment and the poetic texture of Sorín's images similarly evokes Lynch's "The Straight Story." Quiet and unpretentious, the film's humanism isn't confrontational exactly but it's intense nonetheless."
