'Emilia Pérez' Movie Review: Is Oscar Nominee THAT Bad?

Oscar-nominated film 'Emilia Pérez' is a Spanish-language French musical crime comedy melodrama that follows Rita (Zoe Saldana), a struggling lawyer caught up in the dangerous world of cartel boss Manitas (Karla Sofia Gascon), who is undergoing gender confirmation surgery and wants to disappear.
With a bold, surreal tone and a mix of raucous musical numbers and intimate, emotional moments, the film explores identity, personal transformation, and the lingering shadow of past actions.
Gascon’s performance as the magnetic Emilia Pérez is a standout, while Selena Gomez and Saldana also deliver powerful performances in their transformative roles.
In my video, I explain why the film may not be for everyone, how its unflinching exploration of complex themes makes it a conversation starter, and how the film’s striking visual style and innovative music will appeal to those looking for something fresh and thought-provoking.

I just saw the preview of this musical,- it’s horrible! Maybe the cinematography was good but the quality of acting and - Good God! - the horrible singing was intolerable. I can’t imagine watching this with the sound on

You should give it a try! There's some really great sequences, including the El Mal song in the back half of the movie
