| Up until last night, Conclave was my favorite film of 2024 (and after a second viewing a few days ago, still feel that it could be a riveting stage play). But then I watch Emilia Perez and was knocked out by its audaciousness and beautifully realized visions. Unlike Conclave, this is a musical that’s enriched by its cinematic landscape. And Zoe Saldana gives a career changing performance — she’s got to be in a production of Kiss / Spiderwoman in the coming years. |
