Emilia Pérez captivates with its audacious blend of genres, merging a crime thriller with a musical in a tale of transformation and redemption. The film's vibrant performances, especially by Karla Sofía Gascón, and its dynamic musical numbers are particularly praised. While the unique mix of intense themes and musical interludes enchants many, it also leaves some viewers perplexed, making it a polarizing yet unforgettable cinematic experience.
👍 The film's innovative fusion of a crime narrative with musical elements and its exploration of trans identity are highly praised.
👎 The musical format might not appeal to everyone and could be seen as detracting from the serious themes.

Un putain de chef d’oeuvre
Thriller du cartel leader going transgender . Interesting but not super crisp . On s’ennuie un peu
Worried about the fact it’s a musical comedy, but, WOW
Vraiment un film excellent. - défends la cause transgenre, ce n’est pas le physique qui fait la personne - mais en même temps critique, le passé est indissociable de sa personne - comédie musicale chantée et rappée
Rated 7/10 by Gahïs Idir
