Guidelines for a review require a minimum of 10 lines of text. As if anything less than 10 lines can't sum things up. In case of "Old Joy, I'd have to bend over backwards to meet these requirements, which is exactly what I'm doing with this extended intro. Anyway, my girlfriend, who has a great nose for tiny treasures, was ten minutes into "Old Joy" when I joined her on the couch to watch it. It proceeded to suck me in. When it was over, I realized it was the greatest movie I'd ever seen. It still is. Don't ask me why. If you're someone who needs to be able to explain a movie in order to like it, don't watch it. That's not the way joy works, old or new.
