The cast ofMy Old Assfeatures some major movie stars and a few up-and-coming actors, and they all worked together to tell a great coming-of-age story.My Old Asstells the story of Elliott (Maisy Stella), a girl who is about to go to college who gets some unexpected advice from an unexpected source: an older version of herself, played by Aubrey Plaza. With aRotten Tomatoesscore of 90%,My Old Assis a better performance from Plaza thanMegalopolis, the recent Francis Ford Coppola film. A large part of that quality is due to the stellar performances and chemistry of the film’s small cast.
As with any coming-of-age film,My Old Assrelies on the performances of its lead actors to make its characters sympathetic and believable. Luckily, both Stella and Plaza were more than up to the task, which is likely whyreviews ofMy Old Asshave been so favorable. The actors' chemistry likely also helpedMy Old Assclimb to the top of Amazon Prime Video’s streaming charts shortly after it released on the platform. While Plaza and Stella were important, the rest of the cast ofMy Old Asssupported their central dynamic extremely well, and let them make both versions of Elliott endearing.
