Film No. 67 (2024) September 30th. 4:15 PM EVENT CINEMAS, VMax Cine 4, Innaloo.
"No it's not! I'm a very young adult" (The older Elliot justifies why her age should not be considered middle-age).
NOMINEE: Breakthrough Award (Megan Park) Variety and Golden Globe.
Could MY OLD ASS (MOA) be better titled and thus be more enticing as an education tool in schools? From where I'm sitting, most definitely!
While uneven in structure, MOA is wonderfully heartfelt and surprisingly, tugs on our emotions. Surprising, because, Megan Park (THE FALL OUT), uses interesting ideas to bring a selfish seventeen year old, Elliot (Maisy Stella), into a zone of self reflection. How many of us live with a regret or two about how we bulldozed through our late teens, without appreciating those who got us there?
But its the performances that parcel MOA up. Aubery Plaza is the next "big thing" (if she isn't already) on any screen. The brilliant Stella could not have gained her third dimension without Plaza. Something special here. 9GUMS.
