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
