Reviews

IndieWire - Kate Erbland
You always know a Plaza performance will be good, but over the past few years, Plaza has seemed to make it a priority to surprise her audiences with just how good she is.
83
Entertainment Weekly - Leah Greenblatt
Ford imbues his story with a tense, vibrating energy, moving briskly between the breathlessness of a heist thriller and the sharper barbs of social satire.
80
The Guardian - Benjamin Lee
Ford has a knack for making us sweat without relying on an over-egged score or over-stacked stakes. It’s a genre movie with its feet firmly on the ground, small in scale and tight in focus.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
A cool, confident debut whose steady build mirrors the increasing stakes faced by its namesake, John Patton Ford’s Emily the Criminal is a nail-biter that makes the most of the tough side Aubrey Plaza has shown in even her most comic performances.
80
Time Out - Phil de Semlyen
Plaza, who follows up Black Bear with another darker turn, is great in a role that lets her badass side out for a rampage.
