Emily the Criminal - Reviews

There are few things as satisfying as watching Aubrey Plaza go off on a potential employer during a job interview.

...Plaza continues to make her case as a versatile A-lister capable of leading the more complex version of this kind of heist film...

...grim, gripping...

...compelling and disturbing...

...an undeniably striking debut, slick and involving enough to have us curiously excited for whatever he decides to do next.

Lank-haired and perpetually on edge, she makes Emily's tumble into the underworld believable — and more importantly, interesting.

As the eponymous antihero at the heart of John Patton Ford's slick and smart feature debut, Plaza continues her ascension to formidable leading lady.

An entertaining thriller that also functions as a character study with a dark side, Emily The Criminal is above all else a spectacular argument for casting Aubrey Plaza...

Rossi and Plaza make for a sizzling team; we believe every syllable of their dialogue, every development in their relationship. It’s almost criminal, how good these two are together.
