我的老屁友

In the heartwarming and whimsical ‘My Old Ass’, we follow the story of Elliott, a bright but irreverent teenager on the brink of college. Her world is unexpectedly turned upside down during a psychedelic mushroom trip where she encounters her future self. This surreal meeting becomes the catalyst for Elliott’s journey into self-discovery, first love, and the bittersweet realization that she must soon leave behind the comfort of her childhood home.

The film, directed by Megan Park, presents a refreshing take on coming-of-age stories through its high-concept premise. It blends the uncertainties of young romance with the quirky elements of time travel, resulting in a unique narrative that is both funny and heartfelt. ‘My Old Ass’ serves as a sweet teenage love story, a contemporary comedy, and an exploration of what it means to grow up.

The chemistry between Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza, who play the younger and older versions of Elliott respectively, adds depth to the film. Stella’s portrayal of a sassy and self-assured teenager intertwines perfectly with Plaza’s sardonic humor as her more mature counterpart. The rural setting of Elliott’s hometown is visually captivating, highlighting her emotional journey and evoking a sense of nostalgia for days that are about to end.

‘My Old Ass’ is not just a story about the future; it’s a tale about embracing the present and cherishing the moments that shape who we are.
