I like movies that start with the question "What if...?" Those simple but profound plots at the same time. Those stories that develop in a peaceful context, that encourages the audience's thinking. I like them because these are the instances where you can get to know yourself a little better if you do the exercise that the movie poses to you. The script of My Old Ass is precisely that, simple but that invites you to think about yourself, to put yourself in the place of the protagonist and ask yourself "What would you do?".
The leading performances help everything flow well, despite the secondary performances, which do not all work as efficient support for the main roles. The locations are wonderful. The direction is on point, focused on the story rather than boasting with daring shots. Perhaps the soundtrack is a bit austere, especially with the small plot twist in the last act. Even so, it contributes its grain of sand.
The most sensitive moviegoers will receive this film like a tear-gas bomb to the chest, but will end up feeling good. It's my consolation to convince them not to miss this warm tale.
