Old Joy is writer/director Kelly Reichardt's long-awaited follow-up to her revered but underseen 1994 feature debut, River of Grass. (She directed a couple of shorts in the interim, including Ode, a Super-8 film inspired by the song "Ode to Bill.") Daniel London and cult folksinger Will Oldham star in the film as two old friends who go on a camping trip to a hot springs in the Cascade mountain range of Oregon. London's Mark is the responsible one with the modest house, the wife (who resents his gallivanting off), the dog (who comes along), and the baby on the way. He listens to Air America, and makes all the right liberal noises. Oldham's Kurt is the free-spirit type with the untamed facial hair and the junker car that looks more lived-in than vehicular. Kurt suggests the trip, and they take Mark's car. Kurt has the directions to the place, and they get lost ("I think we're somewhere...in the area") and spend the night at a garbage-strewn campsite, where they discuss their lives, and Kurt laments the apparent dissolution of their friendship. In the morning, they have breakfast in a diner, and Mark apologizes to Tanya (Tanya Smith) over the phone, explaining that he'll be home later than expected. In the daylight, they find the hot springs, and spend the afternoon quietly unwinding. Reichardt co-wrote Old Joy with Jonathan Raymond, adapting his short story, which was originally written as a collaboration with photographer Justine Kurland. It was shot (on Super-16) by Peter Sillen and features a soundtrack by Yo La Tengo. The film was selected by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art for inclusion in the 2006 edition of New Directors/New Films. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Review For Old Joy

Old Joy may be built around a road trip, but it's also a movie about two roads -- and two souls -- diverging.
Steve Murray-Atlanta Journal-Constitution

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.
Robert Denerstein-Denver Rocky Mountain News

Subdued, artistic, with beautifully nuanced performances that are as true as they are often elusive of commercial triumph.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post

Such watchful reticence takes a bold, confident filmmaker.
Jessica Winter-Time Out

At just 76 minutes, Old Joy is a minimalist film, but illuminating, bittersweet, gentle and deeply alive.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

The characters stayed with me, and I'm glad I took a second look now that it's opening for a two-week run at Northwest Film Forum. This time around, its sense of humor seemed much more effective -- as did its less-is-more style.
John Hartl-Seattle Times

Interesting, but hardly the lo-fi triumph its reputation suggests.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm

There are no big revelatory moments. There's no cliched conflict. But don't make the mistake of then assuming that Old Joy has no drama.
Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com

With exquisite tenderness and delicacy, Old Joy fluidly captures the all-too-frequent occurrence of friends drifting apart as their lives branch off in different directions.
Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt

Annoying, blank, and bereft of any narrative arc "Old Joy" has nothing familiar or enchanting to recommend it.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com

The film is like a haiku that one can only interpret through their own experience.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

A subtle, elegant meditation on friendship and identity in a cultural moment where honest cultivation of either is treated like a luxury.
Karina Longworth-Cinematical

A minimalist stroll not worth taking...but if Old Joy doesn't do much, at least it doesn't do it for very long.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion

Reichardt's low-budget feature, shot in one weekend with a skeleton crew, quietly observes both men and passes judgment on neither. It's a minimalist masterpiece.
Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star

There are whispers of bigger themes present -- the changing nature of friendship, the co-opting of '90s "alternative" culture into the mainstream -- but, for the most part, much of what you get out of the film depends what you bring to it.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)

Some movies say a lot by saying little; Old Joy seems content to just stay quiet.
Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly

A minimalist piece to be savoured like a good short story.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

Like a Raymond Carver story, it seems nothing much at first sight, but its crystallised moment reveals further dimensions the more you muse on it.
Nicholas Barber-Independent on Sunday
