Emilia Pérez - Reviews

A cartel tale that makes Breaking Bad and Narcos feel oh-so-run-of-the-mill, this is unlike any other movie you’ll see this year.

Jacques Audiard’s gangster trans musical barrels along in style.

With explorations of themes ranging from identity to forgiveness to corruption and fear and self-love, “Emelia Pérez” is one of the most creative and striking films of the year.

acques Audiard’s riotously entertaining trans Mexican cartel musical.

...is the ultimate intersectional exercise in supporting women’s wrongs – and whether you hate it or admire it boils down to how much you weigh its penchant for musical realism.

Watching “Emilia Pérez” is akin to tasting a combination of substances that haven’t previously been put together, at first being taken aback by the bizarre taste but still going in for another sip.

Everyone should watch Emilia Perez for the groundbreaking film that it is, but the message at the heart of it all stands out the most.

You’ve probably never seen a movie like Emilia Perez before...

...a joyfully erratic opera swirled with a soapy melodrama.

...it never fully crumbles, never loses faith in the vision at hand. Some movies can only wish to have that kind of blindly glorious commitment.

Here is an unusual film from a restless mind.

...technically, it delivers; I can’t think of another musical movie about Mexican drug cartels and trans issues, and certainly not one that has so little to say about either.

Råa och färgstarka ”Emilia Pérez” liknar ingenting annat.

... en film om finde hjem i sig selv, i sin krop og sin sjæl. En film om at transcendere det, der er blevet givet én i dåbsgave – af biologien, kulturen og samfundet.
