A still of Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza as younger and older versions of the character Elliott in the film My Old Ass.
Film critics Sarah-Tai Black and Roxana Hadadi review the time-travelling coming-of-age dramedy and how it manages to pack a surprising emotional punch. Now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, the film stars Maisy Stella as Elliott, a girl who is in the midst of her last summer before university. Through a mushroom trip, Elliott meets an older version of herself, and what ensues following their meeting is both heartfelt and unexpected.
I had a very similar experience to Elliott where I was like, "I'm a lesbian." And then one day a Chad came along and I was like, "Wait a damn minute." It's a very unique experience to see onscreen. We're used to coming out stories, and those are important. But some people have it easier, and the becoming is something strange and different, and sometimes a little funny where you're like, turns out I'm 20 per cent straight, you know?...
