A band of outsiders takes to the highways in this touching independent drama. Brett (William Hurt) is a petty criminal who is eager to turn his life around after spending six years in jail. Brett is looking for a ride home to Louisiana, and happens upon a pair of teenagers up for a road trip -- Martine (Kristen Stewart), a 15-year-old girl whose attempts to catch the eye of a boy she loves have ended in failure, and Gordy (Eddie Redmayne), a geeky outcast wishing he could find somewhere to fit in. Brett persuades Martine and Gordy to give him a ride home, and together the three misfits bond over their shared need for acceptance. Driving toward a New Orleans that's been leveled by Hurricane Katrina, Brett can't help but ponder the biggest question in his life -- if his wife, May (Maria Bello), will take him back now that he's a free man. Based on a short story by Pete Hamill, The Yellow Handkerchief received its world premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Mark Deming, Rovi

Back in January 2011 I was going through serious "Pillars of the Earth" withdrawal, so I started to look into all the movies with cast members I could. My favourite was the redheaded Jack Jackson, but the unknown actor behind him hadn't made many movies ( and those I found was at time unpleasant like Saving Grace), but then I found this one.
From the first viewing my husband and I was completely drawn in! The three (or four) characters that you are introduced to stay with you long after the credits - especially Gordo and Brett. Once the movie is over you have only been given a small insight into their lives, and you really would like more!
This movie is mostly unknown, but everyone I have convinced to see it with me have enjoyed it and agreed that it stays with you - in a good way!
