Review of Old Joy (2006) by Rj P — 04 Nov 2012
I thought it was good but a bit slow. I have to agree with two critics who explained the essence of this one so nicely in their review: "Old Joy may be built around a road trip, but it's also a movie about two roads -- and two souls -- diverging.
" "At just 76 minutes, Old Joy is a minimalist film, but illuminating, bittersweet, gentle and deeply alive." I simply love mountain scenery, nature and this one takes the viewer on a road trip around the Cascade mountain range and Bagby Hot Springs, east of Portland, Oregon.
I would have to say that this is a movie about friendship, loss and alienation. Oh I want to visit Bagby Hot Springs in Portland Oregon and since I live in the West its only a matter of driving up north, super! This gem is on Netflix and I certainly understand why the critics liked it so much.
..So did I..Recommended!
