On a camping trip with her two best friends to celebrate her eighteenth birthday, Elliott tries magic mushrooms and trips out to an encounter with her future thirty-nine-years-old self, but it does not end there, as the older self continues to help the younger to shape her life and relationships for the better. My Old Ass is a warm, funny indie-inflected coming-of-age comedy, but it also reflects deeply on the choices that shape our lives and the journey we take. Maisy Stella is a wonderful bundle of youthful energy as Elliott, and as her older incarnation Aubrey Plaza's timing and note-perfect performance skills work exceptionally well with this situation and material, but it is noted that the film is beautifully performed by the entire cast. With its terrific blend of quirkiness and sincerity, the film is gentle, thoughtful and absolutely charming to the very end.
