Her performance in Emily the Criminal was so badass! and she is great in White Lotus too! Despite starring in so many good films (most of which are at least decent) and giving fantastic performances, Aubrey Plaza remains so underrated.
Aubrey has progressed a bit. It’s too bad that Emily The Criminal isn’t getting a wide theatrical release and more people can’t see it, because I couldn’t believe that I was watching her in a serious role and she was good.
Barry Lyndon is an underappreciated masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick. Many scenes were lit by candlelight. Kubrick reveals a painterly eye with the sumptuous lighting, framing, and colors. While the slow pace is not for everyone, I find the film acts as a time machine, with all else falling away. Woman Under the Influence may well be Cassavetes’s masterpiece. Gina Rowlands is magnificent, giving an unforgettable performance. Viewers will be made uncomfortable, which is the point. Rowlands is also captivating in Faces, Love Streams, Opening Night, and Gloria. Serial Mom, in which Kathleen Turner shows the range and chops reminiscent of Ms. Plaza. A hoot. In Emily the Criminal, Plaza does the heavy lifting and makes it all look easy. She captivates in every scene and sells the solid but thin script with aplomb. What could have easily been surface story to set up action and thrills delivers smarts along with the entertainment. Trapped by minor mishaps that taint her record, student loans with onerous interest, and a "grub hub" dead end gig, Emily is ripe for misadventures that start small and escalate quickly. Plaza not only sells every step in Emily's journey, but she also makes the entire enterprise sparkle with utter believability. The places inhabited by those for whom the brass ring is well out of reach are indeed crowded. Don't tell those going barefoot about pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. The direction is not flashy, but it serves the story very well. I had forgotten about another Plaza gem: Safety Not Guaranteed. This immensely talented actor should be lead in film after film. She has been stellar in Legion, White Lotus, and Black Bear, to name a few choice roles. Seeing that she co-stars in the upcoming Francis Ford Coppola film, Megalopolis, is the best kind of news. Emily the Criminal is a perfect example of a small, high caliber film that slips under the radar all too often. I am reminded that paying attention to reviews that come out of the best film festivals always pays dividends, and the big awards pass by the most deserving all too often.
She's actually very articulate, watch more interviews and look at more movies with her and you will find out she is a very smart woman. I think she has issues with speech sometimes because she had a stroke when she was 20. Her speech was affected by it temporarily, but she healed, i notice in interviews she has these weird speech patterns and many of us love her for it. But once i read about her stroke i couldn't help but wonder maybe she didn't heal completely from the stroke, maybe there is a side effect from the stroke where it effects her speech but she has just learned how to deal with it and turn it into a superpower and somehow figured out how to blend it in into the deadpan character we all know she plays, but in actuality its actually who she is but she turned it into something powerful with acting and improv kinda like how Batman turned his fear into being someone that criminals should fear. Anyways I love Aubrey Plaza to pieces. She is brilliant, intelligent, quick witted, quirky, weird, sexy, and awkward all in one. She is a dream woman.
Something feels like she’s name dropping pose here. Like she called a friend who knows her stuff before this shoot to come off as hip. Maybe I’m wrong but Aubrey Plaza is acting all the time.
One of the few people to understand the premise of being asked to name 4 Favorites. 🤣
What is the premise?
@@RAJACENA1996 i think they’re referring to how some people name more than 4
Why is the background music trying to steal the Pink Panther?
Love that she said Barry Lyndon! In my top 4 as well
shes so cool
This is awesome! Serial Mom was my first John Waters movie, so I was happy af when she listed it.

Those picks were so on point. I'd be interested in her top 10.
Awesome
Incredible taste for top notch cinema !!!
l just falling in love with the little hours
Barry 🥰🥰🥰🥰
aubrey plaza is my favorite
Damn this is a good list. Barry Lyndon is one of my all time favorites.
The contrast between the seriousness of the mentioned films and the goofy music in the background was more jarring than any John Waters joint
damn she was killer taste!
Turn the music down, jeeesus.
Stop being so freaking cool, Aubrey.
One of us! One of us!
what's with the soundtrack of this video..?
Hugs Ws
Aubrey Plaza say something coherent challenge
Why don't you show the original Scenes from a marriage, she's not talking about the remake.
Isn't that the original? From 1974?
@@dhritzkiv it is but the cover they show in the video is from the newly made american remake.
@@SavantSvant Are you sure about that? That's the cover for the OG
@@dhritzkivyou are right! I stand corrected, I'm sorry.
RIP Miss Plaza. Such a tragedy. You will be missed.
Is she having a stroke? Did the editor forget to lower the music?
She’s not very eloquent
Not normal for her. She's usually much more articulate and eloquent in speaking than this. Just an off day for her.
What stupid music.
She's somewhat inarticulate.
She's normally much more eloquent. I'm not sure why she kept stuttering in this clip.

Probably still more articulate and more intelligent than you, hoss.
Something feels like she’s name dropping pose here. Like she called a friend who knows her stuff before this shoot to come off as hip. Maybe I’m wrong but Aubrey Plaza is acting all the time.
That's utter nonsense. She has very sophisticated taste in films. This is what she's been saying for many, many years, long before this video.
