I think the twist in Old is kind of superfluous, a bit of Shyamalanic nonsense to cap off the film. The rest of the movie is full of bizarre behavior and weird ruminations on aging, and it works well because of how unsettling and strange it is. It's one where I can mostly enjoy the film and just ignore the dumb way it wrapped up.
