Non sense, insulting movie. 

Emilia Pérez is definitely a film. That is the best thing I can say about it. Well, Karla Sofia Gascón and Zoe Saldana were good, but not even that good, and in a too terrible film to even be in awards consideration. There was some nice editing and cinematography too I guess, ad a couple of songs were “not bad” at least. 

The mere premise should’ve been a warning already, but I remained excited to see what Emilia Pérez had to offer. I have to say I’m impressed producers put money for this to be made. What were the crew thinking when writing, producing and directing? Didn’t they see what a non sense this is? Didn’t see how the premise is the one of a hundreds episodes running mexican soap opera? How insulting it is to reduce transexuality to this? How difficult it is to get invested in a story with so many unlikable characters and which tries to cover so many different themes failing at every single one of them? How badly executed the musical numbers were? 

At first I kept thinking “Audiard has balls to make a film like this”. The “so dumb it’s brilliant” kinda logic hit and left literally few seconds later. It’s just dumb. Profoundly, deeply, incredibly dumb.
