    I can’t really speak for the Mexican or Trans experiences but I have seen a lot of films, musicals and film musicals! 

    Ultimately this just shouldn’t have been a musical. The story of a trans Mexican drug lord already present so many opportunities for a striking and unique film. Why would you add songs, especially if they are terrible? Why would you not have your former Disney/child musician sing properly? The “main” character barely even sings? What have you gained…

    Apologies everyone it’s been a manic few months and I’m currently halfway round New Zealand on a road trip. Very conscious that the Oscar’s are in 3 weeks and this is only my second film this year so desperately trying to catch up where I can!!! 

    100% my shit and absolutely loved it. Script is beautiful and well balanced, tonally toes the line perfectly between comedy and respect. Kieran Culkin the absolute standout but Jesse Eisenberg isn’t getting enough love for his triple threat!

    Impossible to be objective but why would you want to be. Ratings for this will be redundant. Best moviegoing experience since endgame. Haven’t laughed or gasped that hard in ages. My inner nerd is freaking out. WE ARE SO BACK.
