Stacking

About This Movie

So, 'Stacking' from '87 is this offbeat blend of comedy, drama, and a touch of romance that really captures rural life in the 50s. The pacing feels almost like a leisurely stroll through Montana’s fields, which works well with the laid-back vibe. The performances are pretty raw, especially from the young lead and the boozy employee; they share this odd yet heartfelt dynamic while trying to save the family farm. You can really sense the struggle of post-war life and the weight of family expectations. The practical effects are minimal, but they definitely ground the film in its time - feels like you're genuinely there with them. It’s not your typical farm story, and that’s what gives it a unique flavor.
