You may know what question you’d ask your older self if you got the chance to speak to them, but can you ever be truly prepared to receive advice from the future?
That hypothetical serves as the thesis for My Old Ass, an off-beat coming-of-age movie that straddles the line between irreverent teen comedy and tear-jerking melodrama.

It’s a film sure to resonate with millennials as they look back on the glimmer of their younger days, but it’s also a love letter to the resilience of Gen Z... and the lessons they can teach their elders.
