So, I still teared up a little. but mostly I wished there had been more about Idgie and Ruth. I found the non-linear storytelling to be a bit distracting, and Evelyn wasn't interesting until the last 50 pages or so. But Idgie and Ruth and all their loved ones were fascinating. Also, the lack of treatment Ruth's death received was just rude. She and Idgie both deserved more than that. the ending didn't offer much closure, and posed more questions. This is one instance where the movie might be more satisfying.
