Reception

Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote, ""Stacking" has a lot of pretty Montana scenery and a lot of not-great music on the soundtrack. Yet it has no real drive or personality of its own. It looks like a movie made as a cooperative venture by film students with a fairly fancy budget."[2] Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "At the end, Anna Mae’s progression has a foreordained feel; not really privy to a struggle or a triumph. Yet it’s a decent film with decent intentions and values. Nowadays, that can sometimes be recommendation enough."[3] Joe Baltake rated the film 2 stars out of 5, calling it "a case of a movie getting longer with each cut."[1]
