Reception[edit]

Tom Keogh of The Seattle Times rated the film 3 stars out of 4 and called it "insightful and quietly unnerving".[1]

Andrew Wright of The Stranger wrote, "Throughout, Emily proves to be a movie with an impressive understanding and respect for the uncertainty principle of coexistence."[2]

Dan Webster of The Spokesman-Review wrote that the film "neither resorts to cliché nor wallows in self-involvement", and that the "strength of what Graves does involves not just the quality of his film’s production but how he works out the thematic issues he raises."[3]

Walker MacMurdo of Willamette Week gave the film a "B" and wrote, "Despite the budgetary restrictions found in any independent feature, Emily is a compelling film."[4]
