Critics' Reviews

Alicia MacDonald’s direction almost feels like a Mancunian take on Rye Lane, colourful and vibrant with music everywhere (shout-out to Nia Archives and Tom Tom Club on the soundtrack); while Rice and Fearn are bright and breezy company, both game for self-effacing comedy and with bags of chemistry between them. For a good romcom, that’s half the battle.

Laura Lewis
Nadia Parkes delivered a compelling performance in the movie 'Finding Emily', capturing audiences with her nuanced portrayal of the titular character. Critics praised her ability to convey deep emotional complexity, making her role both authentic and engaging. What made her performance unique was her method acting approach: she spent weeks researching Emily's background and even met with people who had similar life experiences to bring genuine depth to the character. A lesser-known behind-the-scenes fact is that Nadia insisted on performing most of her own stunts, which added a layer of realism to the film and impressed both the cast and crew.
