Incredibly enough, Emilia Perez managed to surprise me: the film is far worse than I had imagined. The negative criticism it has received is more than justified and, I dare say, even lenient compared to the prejudiced mess projected onto the screen, minute after minute, for over two hours. The film is riddled with so many issues—so many, in fact—that it is difficult to determine where to begin. But one question immediately comes to mind: What on earth did the…

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown 1988
Watching any Almodóvar film is always a unique experience.

The scene depicting Sophia crying on the floor of her apartment is particularly ineffective.

And honestly, the performances of Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor are magnificent, far surpassing Zendaya’s. Both actors manage to deliver well-constructed characters, and the audience can understand, through what is…
