It's Election Day in the United States -- a crazy, stressful day for so many people -- but we wanted to take a moment here at Breakfast All Day to check in, say hello and share a couple of film reviews in case you need a break from thinking about politics.
First, we discuss "Emilia Pérez," a Spanish-language musical from French filmmaker Jacques Audiard. It was a major award winner at the Cannes Film Festival this year, and it's France's Oscar entry in the international feature category. But while we admired the extreme ambition on display, as well as the committed performances from Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, we didn't think it totally worked in the execution. Still, we love a big swing around here. In theaters in limited release and streaming on Netflix starting Nov. 13.
Then, we have a little something that'll warm your heart: "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," an old-fashioned holiday comedy that offers faith-based messages in a way that secular audiences can enjoy, as well. It's based on the beloved children's book and stars Judy Greer, Pete Holmes and Lauren Graham. In theaters Friday.
Whatever happens this week, we're here for you, and we'll be back on Friday with Movie News LIVE! at Noon Pacific at our YouTube channel. We hope to see you then.
