该片编剧为法雷利和《绿皮书》的联合编剧Brian Currie及Pete Jones(《嘿咻卡》),改编自纪实书《The Greatest Beer Run Ever A True Story of Friendship Stronger Than War》,讲述John Chickie Donohue的真实故事:越南战争时期的1967年,26岁的前美国海军陆战队成员Donohue从纽约出发,去越南寻找正在当兵的三个儿时好友,给他们送去啤酒。
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
