Old Meridian

About This Movie

So, Old Meridian takes you on this quirky journey with the Jaspers, three generations trekking through Arizona. It’s got that laid-back vibe, punctuated by Jim Dolan’s dry humor. The pacing is interesting; it takes its time to let moments breathe, which I appreciate. The stunning landscapes are like a character themselves, enhanced by practical effects that really ground the film in reality. Each Jasper has their own quirks and baggage that play off each other well—those performances feel authentic. It’s all about family dynamics, the clash of old vs. new ideals, and finding common ground. Not your typical comedy, but it hits a sweet spot with its warmth and humor.
