My Old Ass
An 18th birthday mushroom trip brings free-spirited Elliott (Maisy Stella) face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza). But when Elliott’s “old ass” starts handing out warnings about what her younger self should and shouldn’t do, Elliott realizes she has to rethink everything about family, love, and what’s becoming a transformative summer.

"Tender in how it handles fear, refreshing with its coming-of-age storytelling, and worthy of every single accolade it will surely receive this year."
– Brittany Patrice Witherspoon, SCREEN RANT -
"Park’s sophomore feature is sweet, locally specific, funny, and gradually heartbreaking in the most inventive fashion, one that maturely celebrates girlhood and young romance shame-free, with disarming sincerity."
– Tomris Laffly, HARPER'S BAZAAR -
"A love letter to childhood and youth, a tender recreation by filmmaker Megan Park of time gone by...My Old Ass is a real winner bolstered by true originality and undeniable heart."
– Anna Miller, DISCUSSING FILM -
"A heartwarming and thoroughly genuine coming-of-age film that embraces its charming imperfections. What a sweet reminder that the freedom of being young and dumb not only makes you brave, but that life is best experienced in the present."
– Louisa Moore, SCREEN ZEALOTS
