Emilia Pérez (2024): "Singing, Subversion, and Selena Gomez"

In this week's Can I Change My Score, Sophie and Matt tackle the Oscar-dominating sensation Emilia Perez. Described as a “Disney movie on crack,” this genre-bending musical dives into a kaleidoscope of Broadway-esque numbers, emotional upheaval, and dark undertones. They explore Karla Sofia Gascón's powerful portrayal of the titular character and Zoe Saldana’s swan-like grace, while questioning the film’s peculiar tone and setting. From gyrating bed scenes to heartfelt family struggles, the duo debate the film’s unconventional approach, its Netflix marketing woes, and its long-term impact. Scores shift as they ponder: is it too weird or just weird enough?
