EMILIA PÉREZ Movie Review | Zoe Saldaña | Selena Gomez | Netflix

"Emilia Pérez" is wildly ambitious, but it doesn't totally work in the execution. Still, we love when a filmmaker take a huge risk, as French writer-director Jacques Audiard does here with his Spanish-language musical. Trans actress Karla Sofía Gascón stars in the title role as a Mexican cartel kingpin who undergoes surgery to live as a woman. Zoe Saldaña co-stars as the attorney who helps facilitate that process, with Selena Gomez playing Emilia's wife. In theaters now in limited release and streaming on Netflix Nov. 13.
