Old Stock (2012)
7/10
I like a lot of this
31 December 2021
Stock Burton (Noah Reid) has been spending most days in the last two years visiting and doing stuff around his grandfather's retirement home. He is hiding from something and somebody. He is jolted out of his comfort zone by the new dance instructor Patti (Melanie Leishman) doing her community service.

I like Dahlia's bitterness. I like Patti's adorableness. I like Stock's well-earned patheticness. You're more paralyzed than she is. That is just a great line. I like that Patti already knows the story which suggests that everybody knows. I like a lot of this. Maybe the movie should start with a second of the crash and the crash needs to be staged better. It does struggle to incorporate some of the lighter elements and all the elderly characters. I really love the cathartic climax. Despite some unevenness, I like this more than any of its difficulties.
