A different Emily from the one in Paris
22 December 2023
Etflix has a rougher, tougher Emily than Emily in Paris. As portrayed by Aubrey Plaza, this Emily is down in her luck woman with heavy debts, unable to find a job because she's a felon.

Emily becomes involved with an Armenian gang dealing in credit card fraud. When two people attempt to rip her off, she shows what she's made of.

Turns out she's made of a little bit more than her boyfriend (Theo Rossi) whose hopes of owning an apartment building are dashed when the rest of the gang steals everything he has.

Emily insists that they go after it.

I don't know if this film was cheaply done, but the feel of it was somewhat improvisational. Aubrey Plaza is very good - in fact, the whole cast is strong.

Most interesting was seeing Emily with more successful- and honest - friends. She clearly didn't belong.

Netflix doesn't always have decent product, but this was pretty good.
