EMILIA PEREZ: I don’t get it

Ludicrous, barely there arcs for the characters. Pacing was way off. The movie seemed to have no knowledge of Mexican culture. Selena Gomez was terrible. Absolutely no one would this huge tranny to be an actual woman. The only plus was Zoe Saldana…surprise…is able to sing and dance with great charisma. I would replace Zoe with Mike Faist, because her role was completely non sexual and Mike would tear up the stage during the VIP banquet wearing Zoe’s red suit, shaking his ass off aka that wedding video on Twitter where Mike is tearing up the dance floor back in Ohio.

Is the movie based a true story? A straight violent criminal who looks like a linebacker and is ugly as sin, wants to escape responsibility, fakes his death and self dead names, has a pussy installed, brings his kids and ex wife back to Mexico by lying to them about who he really is, manipulates his wife with money, starts an affair with another women, and does dramatically and then memorializes himself as a saint with an icon that looks 100 x better than him.

Am I missing something?

I wasn't crazy about it either, OP. But I watched it at the urging of my bff.

My father thought it was based on a true story as well. It wasn't.

I've developed pretty strong bullshit-dar on critically acclaimed movies, and the two that look like a stinking pantload this year are EMILIA PEREZ and ANORA.

ANORA was great. Really strong acting, hilarious and intriguing themes r4

EMELIA PEREZ had one really great actor in Zoe Saladana and not much else besides a man who has not really not that at pretending to be a woman, which i’d assume he practiced a lot. The musical numbers were absolutely wretched.

R4 Anora is 1000x better than Emilia Perez. Give it a go.

This poll has way too much going on. Who the fuck writes essays about films they hate and people they loathe.
