Best Drama I've Seen in Ages


Strong characters, intriguing story that hooks you from the start, and you really become invested in Emily's journey. Great to see films like this are still being made. Kudos to John Patton Ford and Aubrey Plaza for making one of 2022's best films.

Agreed. Great movie.

I agree as well. This film affected me throughout, and when it was over, I had feeling wash over me that felt like a shot of adrenaline. I also thought about the movie for days and days afterward. Highly recommended!

I saw this when it first came out in the theater. I thought it was well done, original and the acting and writing very good. This is not Robin Hood like some people said. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. That isn’t what’s happening here. She is a criminal to be sure. The movie doesn’t judge her but I couldn’t help to. Bad stuff happens to people because of her. And as I left the theater, I recall that I didn’t much like her but I really liked the movie. Yes, kudos to the actress, Aubrey Plaza, who gives us such a chilling performance and the writer and director and all the people in the movie Theo Rossi, et. al.

More a thriller/caper than a drama, no?
