Emilia Prez has been on everyone’s radar since it made its splashy world premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, winning the Jury Prize and the (shared) Best Actress award for its women ensemble (which comprises Zoe Saldaa, Karla Sofia Gascn, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz). There’s no doubt that the movie, by French filmmaker Jacques Audiard, is as audacious as they come after all, it’s a musical, a crime thriller, a comedy, and a transgender coming-out story. However, despite being held together by top-notch performances, particularly Saldaa, not every part fully comes together.
