90 Years Old – So What? feels like a poignant exploration of aging wrapped in a comedic package. The film’s tone shifts between melancholy and lightheartedness as Aiko Satō navigates her new reality after retirement. The pacing plays with the quiet moments of introspection against the bursts of her frustration and humor. The character of Tachibana brings a fresh energy, sparking Aiko's return to writing, and you get this intriguing dynamic where her essays serve as a cathartic release. It’s distinct in how it captures the absurdity and poignancy of growing old, with practical effects that ground its whimsical elements. Aiko's performance is layered, balancing vulnerability with a sharp wit that's really something to appreciate.
