Big Fish 2003
“Big Fish” is one of my guilty pleasure films. It’s probably not a 5 star film as it sometimes feels like it stretches on for too long, but I can’t help myself, I simply love this movie.

Consistent with its source material, there are musical numbers dispersed throughout the 132 minute run time.
Publicly, there has been much discourse around “Emilia Pérez“. Many criticize the film for cultural misrepresentation…
