The film stars Karla Sofía Gascón as Emilia, a mob boss who wants out of their criminal life, and Zoe Saldaña plays a lawyer who gets the offer of a lifetime when she’s approached to make that happen. Selena Gomez is Emilia’s wife, and will have her own part to play in the drama.
If that sounds like a traditional criminal thriller, then you might want to check out the teaser trailer that we’ve embedded above – it’ll clue you into what makesEmilia Pérezdifferent. For one thing, it’s basically a musical, although probably a more impressionistic one than you might expect.
Karla Sofía Gascóntold Netflix in an interview: “You have a musical that is not a musical, an action movie that’s not an action movie, a drama that’s not a drama, a comedy that’s not a comedy”. That sums up the apparently dreamlike atmosphere of the movie.

If you’re worried it might be a dud, you can also check out the reception the movie got at the Cannes Film Festival for reassurance. It came away with the Grand Jury Prize as well as the Best Actress award for Gascón, making it a critical darling already.
That festival run also means that it already has a bunch of reviews to point to – checking outRotten Tomatoesand you’ll find it on an impressive score of 88% at the time of writing. As always, it’ll be fascinating to see whether audiences take to it in the same way, with previous movies like Alfonso Cuarón’sRomashowing that Netflix can indeed be a good home for ambitious arthouse flicks.
