Emily The Criminal

POSITIVES

  • Thought provoking subject matters and an interesting look into a crime that I’m sure has caused many people problems in real life. 

  • Engaging plot progression that is a rabbit hole of situations that go from bad to worse. You're going to be invested to see how it all plays out by the end. 

  • The criminal methods and procedures explained and demonstrated in this movie are fascinating to watch. Arguably the most interesting thing about this movie. 

  • Aubrey Plaza is fantastic in the role of Emily, and she perfectly gives us a nuanced performance filled with frustration, anger, and determination. She makes this movie better because of what she gave to the role. 

  • Has several provocative ideas and commentaries. Cautionary tale? Sure. But it’s also an indictment against this capitalistic society. 

NEGATIVES

  • If you’re not in the mood for a downer of a movie, you probably don't need to see this. 

  • You’ll probably have an idea where the story is going to go. You've seen this kind of movie before. Not exactly an unpredictable premise. 

  • Didn’t really care for the second act, and the unnecessary sub plot that came with it. 

  • Not exactly the most visually stylish cinematic experience. 

  • It could be argued that Audrey Plaza's portrayal of Emily is too nuanced to the point where it seems to be a one note performance.
