EMILY THE CRIMINAL
Saddled with student debt and unable to find work, a college graduate (Aubrey Plaza) becomes involved in a credit card scam, acting as a dummy shopper and buying increasingly risky products with stolen credit cards.
SYNOPSIS
Emily (Aubrey Plaza) is saddled with student debt and locked out of the job market due to a minor criminal record. Desperate for income, she takes a shady gig as a “dummy shopper,” buying goods with stolen credit cards supplied by a handsome and charismatic middleman named Youcef (Theo Rossi). Faced with a series of dead-end job interviews, Emily soon finds herself seduced by the quick cash and illicit thrills of black-market capitalism, and increasingly interested in her mentor Youcef. Together, they hatch a plan to bring their business to the next level in Los Angeles.

Reviews
“But if Emily the Criminal isn’t always successful as a genre exercise, it’s thoroughly gripping as a portrait of a woman always operating in survival mode.”
“A gritty and suspenseful LA noir that also serves to examine the structural issues that uphold wealth inequality in this country. But Emily the Criminal isn’t trying to be preachy or political; it’s just authentic, and urgent. “
“One of the pleasures of Plaza’s performance is the way she shows us a person working out her fight-or-flight instincts in real time, and in ever more dangerous transactional situations.”
