Deep down, it’s perhaps less about open-plan kitchens and cashmere knitwear than a desire to release a well-earned exhalation and be oneself without apology.įor those fortunate enough, the pandemic, with its sudden absence of a bustling work culture or packed social calendar - and a sudden sense of mortality - offered an opportunity to play at this, and prioritize their home lives, close relationships and time in nature. Keaton, at 76, aspirational to people of all ages. It also offers a portal to something deeper: a current collective wish to fill our kitchens with hydrangeas, drape ourselves in Eileen Fisher, pour some wine over ice with our closest friends and stop sweating the small stuff.

Lail goes full Diane Keaton: eyes wide, hands splayed, shouting from her comic depths. “I’m a 70-year-old trapped in the body of a 30-year-old who just needs a minute to rest!” On that last line, Ms. I don’t! It’s disgusting! I want to be free to say whatever I want,” she wails. “I don’t wanna have to pretend I like kombucha. There, aided by a huckster in a caftan (Simon Rex), she lies down in a repurposed tanning bed and channels her inner self. Wearing her best friend Carla’s (Taylour Paige) thigh-high stiletto python boots - because her own clothes are unsuitably frumpy for Carla’s Palm Springs bachelorette party - Mack totters into a tapestry-laden tent advertising past-life regressions. In the new film “Mack & Rita,” the 30-year-old writer Mackenzie “Mack” Martin (Elizabeth Lail) longs to unleash her inner 70-year-old.
