Emilia Pérez (out Jan 16) is touted as a serious Oscars contender... but I am not a fan. It's the tale of a Mexican gang leader who fakes his own death, leaves his family behind, and has a sex change operation to start a new life. The plot, which becomes a darker version of Mrs Doubtfire, lacks credibility. My biggest grievance is the redemptive character arc given to the title character. Grade: C+.
