What's left behind? When aging baby-boomers have to deal with their parents' death and remaining possessions, it falls to them to sort through the accumulations of a lifetime. Filmmaker Larry Johnson finds himself in exactly that situation when he inherits a storage unit that's bursting at the seams. Reminiscent of Alan Berliner and Ross McElwee's style of personal documentary-making, Stuff is a touching and often funny film about Johnson's unresolved relationship with his dead father and the mysteries uncovered when he inherits box after box of his dad's meticulously organized "stuff." But as we learn about Larry's father, we also begin to see that the film is as much about the filmmaker and his own foibles as it is about dad.
