What's it like to live with a criminal record? Emily the Criminal is partly about that, some of the audience's judgment probably mitigated by the fact that hers was a crime of passion, but it mixes in crushing student debt and takes swipes at such things as unpaid internships to talk about financial despair and what it might make you do. Aubrey Plaza, in a rather serious role, is great as a woman fueled by anger and who we can empathize with no matter what happens in the movie. The crux of it is that to make necessary money on the side, she gets involved in a credit card scam, which then devolves into bigger and bigger crimes. In a way, that takes in more familiar directions taken by many (if not most) crime pictures, but Emily is such a distinct character, it makes the journey worth the time. You root for her, you fear for her, you cheer for her... and you certainly wouldn't want to cross her.Cynicus Rex
A gripping pleasant surprise. The characters and storyline feels like it's straight from Grand Theft Auto.
