Emilia Perez – A Movie Review
I heard some praise for Emilia Perez but never paid it much attention until it beat Wicked at the Golden Globes. Even at that point it didn’t quite register that it was a musical. A few weeks later, as I scrolled through Netflix, I saw it come up. Remembering the title, I clicked on it…

Believe it or not, this movie is not as bad as you’ve heard — it’s worse. I read Morbius was terrible, but I eventually streamed it, and you know what? I liked it! I avoided the Venom movies for years because I assumed they’d be bad, but guess what? After Morbius, I took a chance…
