Community Reviews

Viewers find 'Emily the Criminal' to be a gripping thriller with a realistic touch that delves into the descent into criminality, driven by financial desperation. While the film's storyline and Aubrey Plaza's performance are generally appreciated for their intensity and credibility, some viewers felt the film lacked emotional depth and was somewhat predictable. The mix of suspense and a subtle love story adds layers to the narrative, though opinions on the ending are mixed.

👍 Aubrey Plaza's performance shines.

👎 Some found it emotionally lacking.
