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.

3/5

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

It’s quite an achievement to take a genre as well-worn as the romcom and to make it feel fresh and vital. But this Manchester-set tale... manages just that.

3.5/5

It entertains, sweetly and gently, but has serious bite in its commentary about gender politics within our universities.

B-

Lightness and coziness is intended, keeping up with rom-com standards, but "Finding Emily" contains moments that offer a glimpse of a sharper, more deeply felt film than the one ultimately offered here.

A campus comedy, a love letter to Manchester (and its music) and a post #Me Too meditation on courtship and dating "rules", much of Finding Emily’s appeal comes from the spark between its spiky leads Rice and Fearn.

3.5/5

Funny when it needs to me and dramatic when it needs to draw its audience in - Finding Emily is a remarkable film. It showcases an amazing young cast and features a stunning soundtrack.
