Emilia Perez is a genre-defying musical crime film that dares to be unlike anything else. Jacques Audiard latest is bold, flawed, and impossible to ignore.

<p>Emilia Perez is the film everyone has an opinion about, and opinions are sharply divided for good reason. Jacques Audiard has made a Spanish-language musical crime thriller about a cartel boss who transitions and fakes her own death, and it is exactly as audacious as that sounds.</p><h2>What Works</h2><p>Zoe Saldana is extraordinary. Her performance anchors a film that could easily collapse under the weight of its own ambition. The musical numbers are genuinely inventive, and the cinematography by Paul Guilhaume is stunning.</p><h2>The Verdict</h2><p>Emilia Perez is not for everyone, but it is undeniably original. Cinema needs films this willing to fail spectacularly in pursuit of something new. Rating: 8/10. On Netflix now.</p>
