Aubrey Plaza stars in the film, with Theo Rossi, Megalyn Echikunwoke, and Gina Gershon in supporting roles. The film tells the story of Emily Bennett, a young woman with student loan debt and a criminal record who is excluded from the job market. She becomes embroiled in credit card fraud and is drawn into the underworld of Los Angeles. Emily the Criminal had its world premiere at the 38th Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2022, and was released in theaters across the United States on August 12, 2022 by Roadside Attractions and Vertical Entertainment. The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised the screenplay and Plaza’s performance.

In August 2021, Aubrey Plaza, Gina Gershon, Megalyn Echikunwoke, and Theo Rossi were announced to star. Filming took place over 20 days in Los Angeles, with an additional day in Mexico. Nathan Halpern composed the film’s score.

Emily is the first feature film by writer-director John Patton Ford, whose American Film Institute graduate film Patrol premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010 and was a finalist for the 84th Academy Awards. In writing Emily, Ford drew on his own experiences with student loan debt and working in restaurants. After Plaza read the script, she agreed to come on board as a producer and star in the film.

Thematically, Emily the Criminal is different from previous era dramas. RogerEbert.com critic Sheila O’Malley wrote, “In another world, another time, Emily the Criminal could have been a romantic drama akin to Jacques Audiard’s Rusty Bones, where romance, crime, class differences, and morality are mixed together with ethical dilemmas.

Emily the Criminal Movie Story

Emily Bennett lives in Los Angeles and works as a freelance food delivery person for a catering company. She is heavily in debt and struggling to pay off her student loans. A conviction for aggravated assault has prevented her from getting a high-paying job.

A coworker introduced Emily to a “dummy shopper” service that promised to receive $200 in an hour. The service turned out to be a credit card fraud ring. Emily meets one of the organizers, Yousef, who instructs her to buy a flat-screen TV using a fake card and ID. The next day, Emily goes out to buy a car; however, the dealer discovers the fraud, an argument ensues, and Emily is injured.

While Yousef treats her wounds, they discuss their goals: Emily, an aspiring artist, wants to travel to South America, and Yousef plans to buy rental property. Emily asks for a bigger role in the company, and Yousef teaches her how to make fake credit cards. He gives her a taser for protection and instructs her not to sell stolen goods at home or scam the same stores twice a week. When Yousef’s partner and cousin Khalil discovers the two together, Yousef denies working with Emily. While Emily is looking after her childhood friend Liz’s dog, a buyer finds her apartment, takes the dog and steals Emily’s earnings. She stuns the buyer with a taser and gets them both back.

Emily the Criminal Movie Review

I really liked this movie. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations. “Theo Rossi is a talented actor. Yousef Haddad and Emily Bennett are great co-stars.” Aubrey Plaza is becoming a talented actress. I liked seeing her in a non-comedic role. However, she seemed out of character and suppressed a smile in the interview at the beginning of the movie. “I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but it shows her true genius as a unique comedian. I’ve seen this in her comedic stylings and talk show interviews. I love her as a comedian, but I’d like to see her in a more serious role as well.
