Old Joy might be considered mumblecore - or maybe mumblecore is one of those genres where everyone who makes films supposedly in it loathes the name and applies some even more ghastly word to it. Whatever the case - Old Joy is a film in which not much happens - two guys take a trip to a spring and get lost on the way there. It's tough for me to recommend a movie like this highly - it's well-made and clearly with a puny budget, but it's not that memorable, which is part of the point. It depicts an experience that people who've attended college and have since moved on can relate to, that sometimes the only momentous thing that might occur on such a trip between two friends is that the distance between people grows with time and circumstance.
