Emilia Pérez is not a good movie. Aside from the fact that it is unsubtle, unbelievable and downright boring, its pandering to identity politics is unbearable. Not only does Emilia’s gender transition magically transform him from man to woman, but also from ruthless drug lord to charitable community leader. Apparently, having a sex change also means wiping away all responsibility for the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of people. It feels like Audiard wants us to cheer ‘You go, girl!’ at whatever Emilia does – including when he attacks his wife (who believes her husband is dead and that Emilia is a female relative) for wanting to remarry and move away with their kids. All sins are forgiven by the fact that Emilia identifies as trans.
It could not be clearer that Emilia Pérez is being feted by the Hollywood elite because of its woke credentials, rather than because of its quality. As well as the Golden Globe wins, it has also managed to pick up 11 Bafta nominations, including for Best Film and Best Leading Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, who plays Emilia, even though he is a man. It’s even tipped for an Oscar nomination, too.
