Reviews:

Simple and enjoyable.
While I wouldn’t necessarily say you should rush out to see it, I did enjoy seeing Redwood Highway and think it’s worth your time. It’s just come out on DVD and I got my copy through Netflix. It’s not the sort of film that has huge box office appeal, but it is very enjoyable and reminds me of one of my favorite Best Picture nominees last year, Nebraska.

Shirley Knight is not a household name, but Miss Knight is a very familiar face. Additionally, she’s been nominated for a lot of awards– including twice for the Oscar. Here, she plays Marie Vaughn–an elderly woman who is incredibly hard-headed and who is refusing to retire gracefully. She also is a pain for her family, as her independence and strong opinions make her very difficult to say the least.

When the film begins, Marie is living (quite against her will) in a retirement home when she receives a visit from her son. He invites her to her granddaughter’s wedding and pig-headed Marie refuses to come– mostly just to be ornery. She says that 22 is just too young to marry and she doesn’t approve. However, after the granddaughter calls Marie and leaves her a very angry message, Marie has a change of heart. Well, it’s not a complete change of heart–she will go to the wedding but on her terms. As for her terms, the nutty lady decides, without telling anyone, that she’ll walk to the wedding and take a side trip to the sea shore! It’s many miles and Marie isn’t exactly a young girl–and the trip just seems ill-advised to say the least.

What follows is a low-key but interesting adventure–much like The Straight Story or Nebraska. Nothing exactly earth-shattering occurs but Marie meets up with a variety of mostly nice people who help her on her trek. Mind you–Marie WON’T let anyone drive her to the wedding–this must be on her terms! Will she make it and what could possibly go wrong?

I liked this film though I will quickly admit that it’s not exactly the sort of film the average movie-goer would watch. There are no explosions, no insane plot twists nor any love interest. It’s just a nice slice of life sort of a film where you meet a lot of interesting characters. I love this sort of ‘little movie’–the type that just doesn’t seem to care if it’s a blockbuster or not–it just wants to entertain. And, entertaining this film certainly is.

Adequate, slow, small film
This is a nice enough film, where we follow an older woman as she walks a couple hundred miles to get to her granddaughter’s wedding. She is a cantankerous old woman, and while I have an affection for cantankerous old women, I think the filmmakers made her too horrible at first. Only someone who had never seen a movie before wouldn’t have anticipated that she would grow along her journey, and come out at the end a better person. But even knowing that was going to happen, I thought she was terribly rude at first. When people go out of their way to help her, initially she doesn’t even say “thank you.” Nor do the road-trip vignettes explain exactly why she goes through this growth and has her inevitable epiphany.

The acting seems good to me. And it’s nice to show stories about realistic older people. There is nothing terribly wrong with this movie, but there wasn’t enough right with it for me to recommend it enthusiastically to anybody.
