Review of Old Joy (2006) by Jess M — 31 Dec 2007

I was left wondering, "where was the plot?" if nothing, the movie gets credit for beautiful shots of the western forest. if I ever miss the good ol' redwoods, this is exactly where i'd turn.

the plot was very subtle, which could have been a major attribute that worked advantageously for this film. can you picture sweet piano tunes floating out over deserted redwoods as a story quietly unfolds.

but the film was lacking in story. it had great scenery, fitting sdtrk..it really showcased how peaceful nature is, and had the opportunity to be wowing, but ended up needing something more.
