Emilia Pérez 2024
Taking away the cultural insensitivity and borderline if not outright transphobia, which is a tall fucking ask mind you, the thing that’s the most surprising about this one is that it’s just, not that good.
It’s clunky, cliche, flows poorly, and absolutely did not need to be, and shouldn’t have been a musical. It’s technically quite nice, maybe a bit too glossy, and Zoe Saldaña is pretty good, but beyond that, it’s a pretty nothing movie.

And now, nearly eight years, and a dozen rewatches later, Monsters still holds up perfectly.

Maybe it is the choices in editing, or cinematography, or production design, or basically everything, but I can watch this movie again and again, and every time find myself so drawn in, and smiling…
