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.

Flaws aside, it’s ultimately a pleasant enough way to beat the heat, grab a few laughs, take in a fine soundtrack and find yourself in some good company.

I found this movie quite charming, largely because I think the the leads in it are really great together, Spike Fearn and Angourie Rice.

Occasionally the film gets a little too caught up in its own adorableness...but for the most part “Finding Emily” is just quirky enough, with a lovely sense of place and a few effective nods to “When Harry Met Sally …” for the rom-com completists.

As simple as Finding Emily is, it makes as good a case as any recent film has for how a classical rom-com—not a pastiche, or a commentary, or a neutered version—can still be relevant in 2026.

Finding Emily doesn’t exactly reinvent the romantic comedy, but it doesn’t need to.

There is something so punk rock about a movie that so earnestly wears its heart on its sleeve, that sticks to the formula but still manages to be about something, about characters who feel real even amidst the oversized premise.

Thus was a sweet story about two young g adults who accidentally fall for each other, despite the circumstances.

I thought this was a cute premise for a movie. I enjoy British movies and this did not disappoint me. This guy meets a girl named Emily and she gives him her phone number as she’s rushing off to be with her girlfriends. When he tries to call her, he realizes the phone number is missing one digit and he doesn’t know what her last name is. He tries to find her and ends up finding another Emily who agrees to help him search for the Emily that he is interested. She has an ulterior motive for helping him that he doesn’t know about. This leads to a little mayhem and there are a lot of Emilys in this movie who are not too happy about this guy finding them. They label him a stalker and think he’s threatening. The movie is cute and sweet and I really like the lead actor.
