My Name Is Emily Ratings & Reviews
Film Inquiry
Clint C.
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.
MediaMikes
Michael A. Smith
A sweetly written story about love and the bonds it forms, "My Name is Emily" succeeds in part thanks to a fine cast of young actors
AARP Movies for Grownups
Bill Newcott
Fitzmaurice's...smart script and nuanced direction entitle My Name Is Emily to take its place beside such coming-of-age films as Sixteen Candles and Stand By Me.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A wise, tender, heartfelt and captivating journey that's well worth taking.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Evanna Lynch shines in this whimsical road trip film that has a compelling backstory.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
My Name Is Emily is in many respects an average and in several respects a kind of clichd and frayed coming-of-age movie.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Might just charm you into submission.
Film Journal International
Edward Douglas
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.
Variety
Scott Tobias
"My Name is Emily" believes firmly and vigorously in life's hidden joys and our ability to rearrange our thinking to accept it, but its own preciousness proves too steep an obstacle.
Village Voice
Serena Donadoni
My Name Is Emily gets lighter as it goes along, releasing tension and pretension for a pleasant, routine ride.
Under the Radar
Cody Ray Shafer
A rich, emotional story that gives its characters plenty of room to grow while questioning the very nature of reality.
