Emilia Pérez Review: The Bold Swing That Splits the Room
★★★☆☆
Jacques Audiard's Emilia Pérez fuses cartel thriller, gender-transition drama and full-blown musical into one operatic gamble — an undeniably singular film whose glib treatment of trans identity and Mexican violence made it the most contested title of its year.
Audacious, undeniably alive, and deeply flawed — a genre-scrambling spectacle that dazzles and offends in equal measure. Impossible to ignore, hard to defend.
