111 minute running time so at least 10 to 20 minutes too long … David Lynch’s weird love for middle America on display … all simple, good, kind people, don’t you know? … based on a true story, no doubt … brotherly love, family, kindness to strangers, horrors of war … it’s sweet but so much so that it feels a little fake, hate to say it … I see Kenny Turan wrote about the “fake-folksy script“ in his spot-on review. You can give it a miss.
