Someone articulated most of my issues with this absurd, inane movie in this excellent piece:
📽
Oscar nominations: Emilia Pérez dominated. It’s a bad movie. slate.com/culture/2025...
It Dominated the Oscar Nominations. It’s One of the Worst Movies of the Year.
Emilia Pérez is not a good movie.

Scene at Casa Manóvil:

Teen says I'm prob just being dramatic in saying "Emilia Pérez" is one of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory. Didn't it win a bunch of awards? She — a budding filmmaker and lover of musicals— asks to watch 15m of it to verify for herself.

I don't believe in a parental god. Witnessing the senseless devastation & suffering of the world, how could anyone? Weirdly, though, I've always believed in the potential of humans to organize societies for the collective good. A screenwriter might call this my fatal flaw.
