Very becoming as the great Harry Dean Stanton's one-to-last movie. Co-starring longtime Stanton collaborator David Lynch, developer of his similar persona (The Straight Story, Twin Peaks), rather than a story about a nonagenarian's end-of-life regrets, it's a statement on 'human loneliness' - and where to go with that once your time is almost up. The slow pace, the desolate yet beautiful cinematography, the pauses between dialogue, all give you time to ponder: this will happen to you too. Stanton's reunion with his captain from a movie 40 years prior is a gem, and at the end, you'll genuinely miss the actor.
