Emilia Perez is an unbelievably audacious film that feels like if Pedro Almodovar remade Mrs. Doubtfire as a searing musical crime drama. Narratively, structurally, musically, theatrically, and politically complex yet impressive.
The story revolves around Rita, a defense attorney, aiding a cartel kingpin's gender confirmation surgery. The film transitions operatically, exploring relationships, growth, and a nonprofit seeking closure for missing people's families.
Emilia Perez showcases peak performances by the cast - Audiard's daring direction, Saldaña's exceptional portrayal, and Gomez's nuanced vulnerability. The film weaves a tapestry of emotions and complexities with impressive risk-taking.
