My Old Ass is a 2024 coming-of-age comedy drama film, written and directed by Megan Park. It stars Maisy Stella in her film debut, Percy Hynes White, Maddie Ziegler, Kerrice Brooks, and Aubrey Plaza. The plot follows Elliott, an 18-year-old girl who encounters her 39-year-old self (portrayed by Stella and Plaza, respectively) during a mushroom trip. My Old Ass premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2024. It was given a limited theatrical release in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios on September 13, 2024 and was released internationally by Warner Bros. Pictures. It received positive reviews and was named one of the top 10 independent films of 2024 by the National Board of Review. Among its accolades, the film earned two nominations at the 30th Critics' Choice Awards—where Stella won Best Young Performer—and 40th Independent Spirit Awards, while Park was recognised by the DGA and WGA, and Stella received a number of breakthrough performance awards (including a Gotham Award nomination).
