西蒙·佩吉饰演一个从儿童文学转向犯罪小说写作的作家杰克,为了写作一个名为《几十年的死亡》(Decades of Death)的剧本,天生胆小的杰克开始调查一些维多利亚时期连环杀手的资料,导致自己患上严重的妄想症,总是臆想自己会遭到谋杀。就在杰克生活搞得一团糟的时候,一个神秘的好莱坞片商却对他写出的剧本表示出极大的兴趣。
The summer before college, bright-yet-irreverent Elliott comes face-to-face with her older self during a mushroom trip. The encounter spurs a funny and heartfelt journey of self-discovery and first love as Elliott prepares to leave her childhood home.
Writer-director Megan Park’s tender, surprising sophomore feature cleverly uses its high-concept premise of a visit from one’s future self to launch a refreshing, nuanced exploration of the uncertainties of young romance and coming of age. My Old Ass is a sweet teenage love story, a lively contemporary comedy, and a quirky riff on time-travel films all in one.
Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza have a terrific unlikely chemistry, as the sass and self-assuredness of the young Elliott, as played by Stella, blends and overlaps with Plaza’s sardonic humor as a more mature Elliott. The care and affection shown in the film’s depiction of Elliott’s rural hometown in her last days before taking off for adulthood visually highlights her emotional journey, evoking a nostalgia for days that haven’t even ended yet.—HZ
