Beset with student loans and a checkered past that impedes her
employment, a principled young woman turns pragmatic. EMILY THE
CRIMINAL is a thriller drama that succeeds with the simple virtues of
being brisk and engaging. Solidly recommended.

I liked the movie for the fluff it is. It's kinda funny that numerous crime films with a social bent of the 1930s used a similar plot.

Iirc, those 30s/40s films labored under a moral stricture that, e.g.,
this one doesn't. Well, it's a lighter one, anyway...

Actually, not. The gist of Emily is close to Fritz Lang's You Only Live Once or Busby Berkeley's They Made Me a Criminal. There are others. And do you really think the above "e.g." necessary?

At least deliberate, in that it meant to convey a thought: most (though
not all) modern movies are allowed to portray crime as paying. E.g., I
looked up the wiki-plot of YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE (which, like EMILY, sounds
like a comedy), and find that Eddie suffers God's wrath in the end.

It isn't whether crime pays. It's about how the character got to the crime. Very different ideas.
