    Impressive! A musical with zero (0) good songs! If Selena Gomez gets nominated for an Oscar for this performance I am keying the Academy's cars

    so alienated from the experience of lived trans identity that it gets many basic facts wrong, stuff that any trans person could tell you about (for one thing, emilia pérez wouldn't 'smell like a man' if she was on HRT, as hormones have a massive effect on body odor). but…

    Like if Ryan Murphy tried to make a Pedro Almodóvar film.

    Okay my friends forced me to watch this finally in a discord call so I played Civilization 6 on the main monitor. In my civ 6 game I played as Hungary and established a coastal city. Things were looking fine until I realized there was quite the amount of barbarian camps…

    Se acuerdan cuando Disney quiso registrar el Dia de Muertos como marca registrada? Eso fue más respetuoso con los mexicanos que esto.

From the start, the movie hooks you because of its abrupt turns, how it veers into places that, tonally, narratively and emotionally, you don’t expect. Yet while Audiard has productively combined classic genres and present-day sensibilities before, even the more personal, confessional numbers here add little more than novelty.

The songs are often exquisite, the duets heartbreaking. The performances are trophy bait, Saldaña’s especially. And the go-for-broke direction belies the notion that a septuagenarian like Audiard should be making movies of autumnal wisdom. This is a vivid, high-energy film, one of the year’s best.
