Perhaps the strangest stories are the ones that intertwine the sour reality of the characters and their bittersweet approach towards life. It's so pure and genuine, making it hard not to fall for the characters' charming personalities and feel empathetic when they act so lost.
If you hide from death, you hide from life.
It's those films that make you question what's real and what's fictional that really make a change. They leave an impact on your life, and that is exactly what My Name is Emily did to me. My chest was filled with smoky weight and all I've been wanting to do since watching it is pack a backpack and go somewhere I would never have thought of.
The only flaw I could see within the film was redeemed through character development, and even then it was more of a personal issue I had with Emily than anything else.

Sometimes it's the films that take an unexpected turn that truly speak to the audience. This film is certainly one of them. Without going into spoilers the best description I have for this film is that it's about a young girl whose past has distorted her view of the world and yet she is willing to go far out of her comfort zone as she has nothing to lose and a whole range of lessons to learn.
