Just weeks before heading off to college 18 year old Canadian Elliot LeBrant (a marvelous Maisy Stella) takes a bunch of mushrooms and ends up meeting her 39 year old self (played by a marvelous Aubrey Plaza). Remarkably after their night in the woods together the two find out they can still communicate by cellphone, with the older Elliot giving the younger Elliot advice on how to avoid mistakes in their future life. A movie like this has a very narrow lane that it can inhabit without slipping into being either overly goofy or overly sentimental, and this movies does an exquisite job of staying in that lane. One of the best and most surprising films of last year. ***1/2
