Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Old Joy may be built around a road trip, but it's also a movie about two roads -- and two souls -- diverging.

You may find yourself asking whether anything's going to happen. But for those who can tolerate a slow-brewing movie, [director] Reichardt's work provides sufficient rewards.

fresh:
Subdued, artistic, with beautifully nuanced performances that are as true as they are often elusive of commercial triumph.

Such watchful reticence takes a bold, confident filmmaker.

At just 76 minutes, Old Joy is a minimalist film, but illuminating, bittersweet, gentle and deeply alive.
