“Phrases like ‘game-changer’ and ‘cutting-edge’ can’t capture just how audacious and original Emilia Pérez is. It’s a knockout.” – Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com

“Audiard has created Emilia to startle and divert, but it’s Gascón’s performance that centers and grounds the story, and it’s the actress who finally gives the movie real stakes. She is its heart and soul both.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times
