(2024). I didn’t know at all what I was getting myself into after purchasing the ticket to watch Emilia Perez, I thought it was going to be a kind of action/crime movie because I have my done too much investing, but damn I was flabbergasted when the first song played, because I really didn’t know it was going to be a musical, and the cut into the musical scene was also quite sudden and even shocking.
So yeah, it’s been really difficult gathering my thoughts after watching the film, as it is everything, combined into a two hour mumbo jumbo with ups, downs, lefts, rights and everything in between
But anyway, the film quality is definitely there, expect that the plot diverged an unhealthy amount of times and into subplots that didn’t really have a lot of meaning to the film, but there was an idea at the base of the film, and it was pretty good (I' ;d call the ending provocative, but that just might be a me thing) but yeah, easing into the movie was difficult, but as it ran I did enjoy it and vibes along to the music way more than I would expect, also, the acting was superb, literally on another level and I loved it a lot. Deciphering is difficult, you should just watch it and figure it out for yourself (I do personally recommend it, even with all it’s flaws it’s still absolutely worth it) so yeah, go watch it :).
