A Streaming Guide to Emilia Pérez

The time has come for one of the buzziest movies from this year’s film festival circuit to hit the big screen. Emilia Pérez, which notably received a lengthy standing ovation at Cannes, is poised to captivate audiences everywhere. The film comes from director Jacques Audiard and stars Only Murders in the Building’s Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, Adriana Paz, and Karla Sofía Gascón, all of whom shared the award for Best Actress at Cannes.

The movie’s titular character, played by Gasćon, happens to be a leader of a cartel, who finds herself needing help to undergo surgery for gender-affirming care. She enlists the help of a lawyer named Rita (Saldaña) to assist her in starting a new life as Emilia. This includes faking her death in order to start fresh. Despite achieving her goal, Emilia’s past comes calling as she misses her wife, Jessi (Gomez), and their children. Jessi and the kids, however, believe Emilia has been dead the whole time. Rita once again finds herself helping Emilia to reconnect with Jessi and her family.

As for genre, the film fits into more than one category—though according to Netflix, Gascón describes Emilia Pérez as “an operatic musical.” The movie also had a meaningful impact on its stars. Speaking with ELLE.com at the Toronto International Film Festival, Gomez said “I’m doing more than I give myself credit for. So I’m really proud of this project.”

The much anticipated film is set to hit select theaters this weekend, while streaming will follow soon after. Read on to find out when and where.
