	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Megan Park's amusing and emotional second feature presents an original riff on the fantasy of going back in time to advise your younger self"
		Anthony Kaufman Screendaily	"Grounded in the tender realities of growing up and finding oneself"
		Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"Park crafted an often hilarious and entertaining coming-of-age movie, but a surprise tearjerker (...) The real force behind this movie is Stella, however"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Megan Park affirms her ability to capture teen life with sensitivity and sweetness, but her script leaves odd questions unanswered"
		Ariana Martinez The Wrap	"Being young and dumb is something most can understand and 'My Old Ass' and its magnetic cast succeed in edifying that moment in time just before it passes."
		Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Never before in my life have I left a movie thinking, 'All that needed was 20 more minutes.' (...) Ninety percent of the movie is a very pleasant watch (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"'My Old Ass' may be a bit patchy in its supernatural logic, and may hop from plot to plot a little awkwardly. But it is on the whole a winsome delight,"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Stella is a sensational find... a smart and instinctive young actor with a roughness around the edges that separates her from the slick unnaturalness of the many grown-up Disney kid (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Patrice Witherspoon Screen Rant	"Megan Park is a rare example of an early-career director who knows how to create authentic YA stories that are equally endearing and meaningful (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A sweet shot of nostalgia mixing romance, comedy and a sprinkling of fantasy (...) a poignant coming-of-age tale in which an 18-year-old meets herself, two decades her senior"
		Alex Stedman IGN	"[It] is a sweet, hilarious coming-of-age story anchored by Aubrey Plaza and Maisy Stella’s excellent comedic and emotional chemistry"
