Emily the Criminal
— Emily has plenty reason to become a criminal: Student-loan debt, soul-crushing working conditions as a contractor with no worker’s rights, the prospect of an unpaid internship, a criminal record preventing her from landing any proper jobs—all very relatable and well-represented by Aubrey Plaza. But the film falls a bit flat with its anticlimactic story line.
(2022) Director/Screenplay: John Patton Ford. Cast: Aubrey Plaza, Theo Rossi.
