Old Joy / USA / 2005

Full review.

Dude-oriented chick flicks don’t get much more bromantic than this, a refreshingly quiet, unambitious portrait of two buddies in the woods that tempers its homoeroticism with a splash of homophobia. But if this aspect is a little too pronounced and gets in the way from more deeply seated issues, the pace and tone of the film is consistently lovely. A slower narrative film hasn’t been made in this country since, well, ever. Or at least since Gallo’s Brown Bunny, but I daresay this movie is more pleasurable to watch.

My only qualm is that the dog was such a small character.
