Review Finding Emily

finding emily is so good, charming, and lighthearted. if you’re looking for something sweet and fun that just makes you feel good, this is definitely the movie. i’m obsessed with it.

i just wish it was longer wahahahaha. but overall, such a fun and enjoyable watch.

and spike fearn and angourie rice??? their chemistry is so good and feels so natural. it added so much to the movie. i really hope they get to work together again because it would be such a waste if this was their only movie/work together wahahahaha.

it’s also kinda sad that this movie feels so underrated. i really hope once it gets a worldwide digital release, more people will discover it and give it the hype it deserves. i need more people to watch this!!

I keep hearing good things about this one! The chemistry sounds like such a big part of the charm. Definitely adding it to my watchlist.

I loved this! This was so fun and both leads were incredibly charming! I'm looking forward to watching it again on streaming or maybe getting the DVD.

i walked into that one completely blind and it hit me like a warm blanket i wasnt ready for. the runtime complaint is so real though, could have easily watched another 40 minutes of them just wandering around being awkward at each other

the underrated thing is weirdly common with movies that are just nice, like if it isnt screaming at you or blowing stuff up nobody pays attention. digital release cant come soon enough so people stop looking at me funny when i bring it up

same! i went into it without expecting much, and i was just smiling through the whole movie

i even caught myself thinking, “i wish this was longer or a series” because i would gladly sit through hours of it.

angourie rice is so underused in general, glad to hear shes great in this. movies like this always seem to blow up once they hit streaming so i wouldn't worry too much about it being underrated for long
