THE OLDEN DAYS COAT is a short fantasy film from Canada that clocks in at around half an hour in length. The plot seems to be inspired by the British children's novel TOM'S MIDNIGHT GARDEN which is one of my favourites. A girl heads up into the attic of her grandparents' home and tries on a coat which sends her back in time decades before. Although this is obviously a low budget production without much in the way of concrete plotting, it does build up a wistful atmosphere and the child actors are invested in their roles, although TOM'S MIDNIGHT GARDEN is a much richer experience.
