Review of Emily the Criminal (2022) by Trypsinogen — 20 Aug 2022

Only went out to see a movie because I needed to waste some time. I thought this premise sounded the most potentially interesting of the options, but it turned out that I didn't find the story/storytelling to be very compelling or interesting.

I guess I was hoping for more poignant illustrations of the struggles that young people these days have to deal with (student loan debt, rigged economy and social structure, socialism for the rich/corporations, ever-growing extreme wealth hoarding, grave absurdities and injustices of late-stage capitalism, etc).

I only remember one scene striking me as being particularly enjoyable. The rest felt mostly just passable and occasionally more on the weak/questionable side. If I weren't a fan of Aubrey and somebody else was playing her role, I might actually rate this a 6.
