Emily the Criminal
2022
Los Angeles, CA
John Patton Ford
Indie Crime Thriller
What’s it all about: Aubrey Plaza turns into a one-woman Thelma and Louise when she realizes she sucks at job interviews but is great at crime. If Gina Girshon is saying you have a chip on your shoulder, you know you're doing something right.
First Encounter: first viewing
Prostitute Index: nil
Death By: background check
Relics: toxic positivity at an ad agency (oh wait, still current)
Hoops: Latin America as the #1 destination for gorgeous criminals looking to reinvent themselves (off the grid but grammable) see also: Linda Hamilton, @lucasholt
Heartthrob: Aubrey Plaza
Pass/Fails the Test of Time: Gina Gershon
LoFi Magic: Aubrey Plaza’s eye language; fantasy job-interview responses
Words to live by: "If you want to tell me what to do, put me on the fucking payroll.”
Makes me want to: bring my sketchpad to Santa Teresa
Candotti Take: “She is the It Actress now.”
Worth a watch/rewatch: Yes
