Critics Consensus

A sparkling rom-com that satirizes modern social mores with good-natured wit and a lovely rapport between Angourie Rice and Spike Fearn, Finding Emily makes a tried-and-true formula feel brand new.

MacDonald and editor Phil Hignett have a keen, witty sense of how the online realm crashes offline living, seamlessly integrating deadly-accurate TikTok parodies into the film’s breezy narrative flow.

3/5

A warm, mostly funny Brit-romcom which both celebrates and tweaks the old template — with winsome turns from Rice and Fearn.

Sweet and cute with a satisfyingly romantic (albeit predictable) ending. You can definitely do worse this weekend.

Finding Emily locates enough heart through its compassionate leads and director to warrant further study.

A-

A British rom-com that feels like it’s from the ’90s, ignoring or tiptoeing around modern tech. A lovestruck young man (Spike Fearn) and his gal pal (Angourie Rice) seek the Emily who didn’t mention her last name. Predictable but fun.
