Celluloid verdict
Jacques Audiard's operatic cartel musical is bold and undeniably singular, but its glib treatment of trans identity and Mexican violence made it one of the most fiercely contested films of the year.

What is Emilia Pérez about?
A feared Mexican cartel boss enlists an overworked lawyer to engineer a disappearance and a gender transition, reemerging as a woman determined to atone — in a genre-scrambling musical melodrama that divided critics and audiences as sharply as any film of its year.

Critic Reviews
Emilia Pérez (2024) Review: A Bold, Broken Cartel Musical
★★★☆☆
Emilia Pérez is Jacques Audiard's Spanish-language cartel musical about a crime boss who transitions and seeks atonement. Audacious, alive and deeply flawed.
It depends. Viewers curious about a genuinely strange, divisive awards film will find plenty to argue over; anyone wanting a coherent drama or musical should skip it.
