Editorial Reviews

A love story at its core, THE YELLOW HANDKERCHIEF is about three strangers of two generations who embark on a road trip through post-Katrina Louisiana. Along the way, relationships forge and change in a myriad of ways, leading to the possibility of second chances at life and love. The film is loosely based on a short story by renowned writer Pete Hamill. Brett Hanson (William Hurt) is an ex-convict, just released from prison after serving six years for manslaughter and now adrift in a world of new freedoms and responsibilities. Finding initial difficulties in reconciling himself to a troubled past, Brett crosses paths with lonely and troubled teenager Martine (Kristen Stewart) and her new 'ride' Gordy (Eddie Redmayne). The trio head out in the same car and direction Martine to cut loose and get away from her family, Gordy to get closer to Martine, and Brett, who must decide whether he wants to return to his troubled past and an uncertainty with May (Maria Bello), the woman he left behind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best road movie and it has Eddie Redmayne! August 21, 2010
By Chimel
Format:DVD
In the days of The Expandables action movies or FX fantasies, The Yellow Handkerchief is a real gem of pure humanity and emotion.
In this road movie, 2 teenagers travel with an ex-convict, and they are just 2 empty vessels eager to be filled by the life experiences of William Hurt and build their future adulthood.

William Hurt's character has a lot to rebuild too, and his acting is magnificent all along. The 2 teens are Kristen Stewart and Eddie Redmayne, who are also transforming and learning about themselves and relationships with others at the same pace as the road trip. There is a good feeling from the start of the movie and a nice progression till the end. Eddie Redmayne is particularly shining as a modest character, just like he is in the current The Pillars of the Earth series.

Definitely the best coming of age and road movie for a while. A long while, since it was first shown at the Sundance festival over 2.5 years ago, and still no DVD on the horizon.

4.0 out of 5 stars poignant, understated July 28, 2010
Format:DVD
This somewhat quirky Independent drama, a remake of a Japanese film based upon an American short story, features a very powerful performance by William Hurt. The poignant, but understated, plot highlights the loneliness we all face as 3 unlikely companions make a road trip through rural Louisiana. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wake Up Fans of Kristen Stewart and William Hurt September 15, 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This movie has been on dvd about a year. Amazon apparently missed that information. If you want a copy, do as I did: order a used copy from the Amazon Marketplace. It is a good movie--the plot is not all that stirring, but the acting is quite good.

I just do not like flashback stories. Wastes too much time. Keep me in the present. Hurt is awesome (as always), as is Kristen Stewart but Eddie Redmayne was mis-cast. Read more
