Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Evanna Lynch shines in this whimsical road trip film that has a compelling backstory. Feb 17, 2017 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com My Name Is Emily is in many respects an average and in several respects a kind of clichd and frayed coming-of-age movie. Rated: 2/4 Feb 17, 2017 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Might just charm you into submission. Feb 16, 2017 Full Review Deirdre Molumby Film Ireland Magazine My Name is Emily is touching in its depiction of the irrepressible bonds of family and funny in its relating of being a socially awkward, weird teenager. It mourns loss but ultimately celebrates life. Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Michael Sicinski Cinema Scope Fitzmaurice is telling a tale that is not particularly new or interesting, but he seems to be imploring us to enjoy the sensations of the physical self while we can. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Clint C. Film Inquiry While Emily's pseudo-intellectual ramblings does detract from the movie's charm and authenticity, it doesn't entirely negate what is otherwise a poignant, stirring story.

Audience Member Takes its sweet time before audiences can connect to it in the way the filmmaker intended, but ultimately the emotional content of the last act wins you over. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
