Donald Clarke Irish Times 1d
3/5
That we know where the story is almost certainly headed is a feature, not a bug. The genre has always profited by having the viewer desperately urge key characters towards inevitable consummation. Go to Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian 3d
3/5
This is a very gentle, light-touch send-up of campus culture wars and social media pile-ons. Go to Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 3d
4/5
Rachel Hirons’s sterling script pokes fun not only at Owen’s blokey cluelessness but the hatchet-faced contempt of the mob trying to cancel him: they’re equally good targets, and the hit rate of satirical zingers here is unusually high. Go to Full Review Rebecca Johnson Movie Marker 2d
4/5
Blending rich social commentary on the psychology of love, cancel culture and the age of social media with a swoon-worthy romance, excellent performances and a banging soundtrack, Finding Emily is a fantastic watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
