Oak Street is an oddball movie, and I'm still deciding whether or not I liked it. I think the judgement comes down to its runtime - it's definitely too long and the juice it has to offer may not be quite worth the squeeze.
But what juice! This movie has so many moments that need to be discussed, alas all under the embargo of spoiler policy. The acting is great, it looks wonderful (even though the 80s setting must be hitting overuse by now) and the story is straight forward.
A different edit with sharper pacing would have made this one of the great dinosaur movies of our time. As it stands it remains a curiosity with some great moments that just about gets a recommendation from me.
