Emilia Pérez


It follows three remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness. Cartel leader Emilia enlists unappreciated lawyer Rita to help fake her death so that she can finally live authentically as her true self.
I have so many questions: Why oh why didn't they hire a Mexican cast? Why didn't they film in Mexico? Why is it nominated for so many awards? Who is making these decisions? I guess we'll never know... I honestly tried to give this movie a chance for what (I think) it was trying to be but I just can't get over how cringey the Spanish is, the dialogue and the pronunciation. Yikes! Who talks like that????
