My patriotic pride is always triggered when I hit upon a stealth Canadian movie. With Aubrey Plaza's participation in My Old Ass, it didn't seem like we'd get a Canadian story (even if shot in Canada, most movies hide it with American references), but it's unashamedly Canadian. And Plaza isn't in it A LOT, though she gets some of the best scenes. Her younger self somehow summons her older self (Plaza) on a drug trip, in the last few weeks before she heads off to university. What message would your older self send your younger self if this really happened? And would your younger self listen? A better question might be, would you listen your younger self? In a world where young people are often dismissed (that's the true ageism, folks), I like the inversion we get from the poignant climax. Young Elliott (Maisy Stella, who gives off Final Girl vibes) is hard to like at first, but she grows on you. I wish the script wasn't so keen on saying various characters look like each other when they really don't, but don't let it distract you. All in all, a pleasant watch that's never quite as original as its premise would have it. There are some laughs and some tears, and a basic coming of age story, you know the drill. 1 month ago
