This review is based on a screening at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. My Old Ass does not yet have a release date, but Amazon MGM Studios is in final negotiations to distribute, per Variety.
Despite something of a high-concept premise involving [checks notes] shroom-induced time-traveling, nothing in My Old Ass is overly complicated – in fact, with its life lessons, hilarious bits, and steady character growth, it hits just about every beat you expect from a coming-of-age dramedy. If that description, however, makes you think My Old Ass is too rote or by-the-numbers to seek out, think again. Writer/director Megan Park takes what could merely be a serviceable crowd-pleaser and turns it into something more affecting thanks to a confident, sincere script and what’s hopefully a star-making turn from Maisy Stella, alongside a particularly charming Aubrey Plaza. It’s such a joy to watch that the only real shame is that a few characters on the sidelines don't have more of a chance to shine. But it’s also a testament to the lovely little world Park built that I found myself eager to stay there longer.
The aforementioned premise alone is relatable enough: Stella plays Elliott, an 18-year-old itching to leave her family’s Canadian farm for college – the kind of teenager who chooses to trip balls in the forest with her friends over having birthday cake with her family. It’s during that shroom trip that Elliott gets a visit from an older version of herself, played by a just world-weary-enough Plaza, who seems as adrift as younger Elliott at times. Older Elliott sets up a couple simple rules, and one of them – spend some more time with your family – isn’t unexpected at all. But the other – don’t get involved with Chad – adds a welcome extra layer of intrigue to Elliott’s ensuing journey.

Aside from Megan Park’s confident script and Aubrey Plaza’s crucial supporting role, star Maisy Stella is the highlight, deftly portraying a teenager who...
