Emilia Perez follows four remarkable women in Mexico, each seeking their own happiness
Cartel boss Emilia enlists the help of Rita, an under-recognized lawyer, to fake her death so she can finally live her true self. Karla Sofía Gascón talks about the two years of preparation for this demanding role in Jacques Audiard’s film, and the two extremes of her own personality that she had to play as Emilia and Manitas. Jacques Audiard said he was inspired by a chapter in a novel about a drug trafficker who longs to change his identity.

Seen at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 14, 2024 (First Time Watch).Format: Regular CinemaRating: 8/10I’m surprised how this movie can be so many things at once. It balances each genre and gives it enough time without it seeming too much.Every acting performance in this movie is outstanding, especially Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofia Gascon this movie perfectly. Unfortunately, with everything related to Selena Gomez, more effort should have been made in terms of her acting and character.
A very weak character who only served as filler to complicate things for the main character and the events of the story
Although musicals are not my thing, this film handled this part in such a unique way, with each song performance being creative in terms of direction and lyrics. Two songs that really caught my attention were one that touched on a political aspect in Mexico and had such a creative and unique direction. The other was really a testament to Zoe Saldana’s performance as it was great with all the darkness and minimal lighting it had.
