Kiss Of The Spider Woman: Emila Perez Chapter 2

A film within a film about revolution and trans issues.

As you can imagine this film bombed, one doesn’t feel the need to say why as it was fairly obvious. However, even watching it in highly liberal France there were walk outs.

You might imagine that this was because of the trans issues which are far heavier and more focused on here then in older versions. You may imagine it is because the film has it’s politics on its sleeve. However, you will actually find the issue with this film is who it chooses for it’s female lead.

Ms Lopez, Jennifer if you’re friendly, may be many things but a talented actor she is not, seeing her in the marketing material for this film was a red flag and then her actual performance, mamma mia. Someone needs to stop offering her roles.

Overall, boring preachy slop.

1/5.

Pros.

If you want to spend some time in a cool room to escape the spring heat there are worse ways to do it.

It’s dull

Lopez

It is preachy

It pushes ideology
