Emilia Perez

Not great. This has so many different elements squished into one movie, like why make this a musical? It felt like an afterthought and I really don’t understand the point. It was almost insulting- like making fun of kidnapping or sexual reassignment surgery through song? Yet it clearly wanted to be a serious movie…I don’t get it.  Plus there’s so many storylines, I’m honestly still a little confused about who the main character was- I guess Emilia, since her name is the title but it seemed like Rita (Zoe Saldana) was actually the main character. 4 watch checks for me, I couldn’t wait for it to end if I’m being honest. You can rent this. I think Ryan might stay awake for this (in some ways it’s kind of interesting) but would be rolling his eyes every time they started singing.
