Critic Quotes:
"The performances are passionate, often bridging the gap between fantasy and possibility. Swing—or in this case, sing—for the fences, and it’s a joy just to watch the ball in the air, no matter the final score."
"Saldana, Gomez, Paz and Gascón intermesh well, pushing each other’s performances to great heights."
"Asking if you can also change what’s inside when you change a body, Emilia Pérez is beautifully performed, nail-biting and emotionally authentic, which sees it through some truly bonkers moments."
"Amazing! Art, love & humanity all splashed across the big screen. A refreshing, genre-mix big swing that explores life. Karla Sofía Gasón, Zoe Saldaña & Selena Gomez are superb. One of the best films of the year. A must-see film."
Important Note: Masks are optional in the theater. We will sit separately and Meet after film in lobby. Weekdays have fewer people which makes it the best time to go to the theater to minimize exposure to Covid.
