西恩(亚当·加西亚 Adam Garcia 饰)和米切尔(萨姆·沃辛顿 Sam Worthington 饰)两兄弟同在钢铁厂打工,每天都过着按部就班的生活,这样的日复一日令这两个正值壮年的小伙子感到非常的窒息。 西恩个性活泼,且极具跳舞的天赋,他相信,自己不可能一辈子都被埋没在钢铁厂里,总有一天他能够走出去,让全世界都看到自己耀眼的舞姿。而米切尔则比较现实,他觉得什么都不如赚钱来的稳妥,西恩与其将精力花费在不切实际的幻想之中,不如和自己一起做生意。渐渐地,志趣并不相同的两兄弟之间产生了隔阂,而当一个美丽的女人出现在他们的生命里后,兄弟两人的关系再度受到了强力的挑战。
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
