MOVIE REVIEW: In EmilyTheCriminal Aubrey Plaza goes from wage slave to free crook in a capitalist critique. evilhag
There are few things as satisfying as watching Aubrey Plaza go off on a potential employer during a job interview. This happens twice in, and those scenes offer a catharsis for anyone who has had to endure the string of banal queries meant to assess labor potential. In the first one, the opening scene of John Patton Ford’s directorial debut, she withholds a felony conviction, and ends up being removed from the premises.
That Emily’s anger is not parsed out or explained by some traumatic origin story is one of the pleasant surprises in this neorealist crime drama. A narrative thread involving her more successful childhood friend Liz attempting to place Emily into the ad agency that employs her further cements the bitterness that surrounds her. A bitterness many of us are well acquainted with.
