My Old Ass 2024

★★★★

Watched 13 Nov 2024

Oof—18 year old me would bully the ever-loving fuck out of current day me, and like Aubrey Plaza’s character, I could probably use the slap in the face. This took a while to grow on me but the third act was a surprisingly solid dismount. I’m currently in a nostalgia-phobic, disaffected purgatorial place in life and the thought of my younger self showing up to impart forgotten wisdom and unexpected healing was enough to make me ugly cry over that last 10 minutes (I’m an easy mark lately). A very earnest and sweet coming of age story more for the over 30 crowd than you’d expect given its teen rom-com focus. Could have used one or two more scenes with Plaza but the ending makes up for her absence in the second act. It’s giving Tiktok Petite Maman (complementary), I enjoyed this way more than I was expecting.
