You’ve never seen a movie like Emilia Pérez! One evening in Mexico City, a burnt-out defense attorney (Zoe Saldana) is whisked off the streets and finds herself face-to-face with a notorious drug kingpin with a crazy offer—he will make her rich if she can help him leave the narco life and undergo gender-affirmation surgery. So begins this one-of-a-kind saga of karma and redemption, packed with knockout performances, exuberant song and dance sequences (did we mention it’s a musical?), and eye-popping spectacle that begs for big screen viewing.
