Odd and clunky, even by M. Night Shyamalan standards, Old squanders an interesting concept through its emotional and personality void filmmaking, failing to deliver upon the themes of the fleeting nature of time and the inevitability of death.

An intimate and beautifully performed drama, Ordinary People features the directorial debut of Robert Redford, who brings stirring emotion and impressive skill to this story of an affluent family crumbling under the façade of normalcy.
