6/10
Solid performances
1 June 2023
This was a decent movie. I only rated it as a 6/10, but was happy with it overall. The film focused on a narrow story about Emily, an overworked, underpaid, art student drowning in student loan debt. It had few other characters, but every scene dripped with how these other characters affected and motivated the focus of Emily. John Patton Ford did a nice job in his feature directorial debut. Aubrey Plaza gave a very good performance as the titular character. The realism of the underground and illegal world of credit card fraud was well depicted on screen. The theft scenes really made the audience feel the fear and tension that Emily was feeling. The film offered some effective commentary on the self fulfilling promises of good people who get haunted forever by a criminal record from their youth. The film was dark, but was a well made film.
