Tight, tense thriller which astutely establishes Emily’s (Aubrey Plaza) shitty financial situation based on bad, bad luck and a few bad choices. Motivating the anti-hero so skillfully builds a strong sympathy that pushes you to follow her decent/ascent into the crimes, and ultimately taking charge of her own narrative. Supporting characters are all strong; better than average. Nuts-and-bolts explanations of the criminal enterprise and the “rules” Emily is supposed to follow are refreshingly clear. Emily’s inexperience dismissing the guidlines has real dramatic consequences. It’s a strong, non-snarky addition to the already bold Aubrey Plaza oeuvre.
Oeuvre! Wow. Look at me! So fancy with the fancy words.
