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
完全站在舒服和故事的反面 淪為了一種視聽割裂的實驗 無論從選角還是推鏡都極力想讓觀眾感受到一種視覺沖擊卻失去了自然感而顯得太過刻意 為了展現那種混亂無序 強化表現欠發達的地區的生猛粗糲 不覺得暗涌反而覺得暴力過于明顯 連空氣中都浸滿了讓人全身抽緊的窒息的味道 觀影中一次次感嘆 推過去了！燒起來了！無緣無故無處不在的暴力 永遠失焦的畫面 絲滑的運鏡和過暗的取景出現在最不應該出現的位置 帶來詭譎的偷窺感讓人窒息 刺眼刺耳 人成為背景只為氛圍感服務 永遠將取景框置于與聲音錯位的位置導致故事邏輯的失衡 如果說這是一種新的敘事方式 那就只能是根本無意講故事的storytelling
過期的刺猬
女拳、反智當道的今天，敢拍這種劇，就挺勇敢的。那個時代的女性、男性和父母做的那些事情，在今天一部分人看來就是天理不容的。既然拍出來播了，就要做好被這部分人打1分的準備。
