Emily The Criminal / John Patton Ford. Emily (Aubrey Plaza) has a conviction for assault so only can land a low-paying job. She also has $70,000 is student debt whose minimum payment doesn’t even include all of the month’s interest. So, when a co-worker suggest a quick $200, she calls the number. All she has to do is go to a big box store, buy a large-screen TV monitor with a stolen credit card and deliver it to the parking lot. This works so well that she asks for more dangerous work for more money. Teaming up with Jucef (Theo Rossi), who led her through the first job, they set up their own credit card business. Soon, she is in too deep to get out and other forces threaten her life. But Emily adapts with a growing attachment and aptitude toward the world of crime. One of the best of the year, the movie is all Aubrey Plaza and she carries it through as a believable person in dire financial straits whose wits, desperation, and hair-trigger temper keep her alive. Impressive acting as well as writing/directing from rookie feature director John Patton Ford.

Aubrey Plaza is quite good in this, though I can't say I loved the picture as much as others have.
