Hey everyone, the Jury Prize Winner at the Cannes Film Festival and the film that secured Best Actress (for all 3 of its main female performances) - Emilia Pérez - will be hitting Netflix very soon (in under 2 weeks). The film is now undergoing its limited release in the UK and will have a similar limited release in the US starting this upcoming Friday. This movie has certainly been a little divisive, partially because of its subject matter but also its interpretation on it & the genre that's been used to explore it. I've now seen the film and will let you know whether I think this one merits all that discussion.
