    Excellent so far. Great cast. Wonderful look into a process I knew comparatively little about.

      Spectacular movie. Filmmaking and storytelling at its best. if it doesn't win best picture I'll eat my hat.

        It's simply criminal to make any Oscar picks before watching Emilia Perez.

        Education is extremely important.

          I watched part of it. In terms of filmmaking style, it is brilliant - very original. But I haven't finished it and I'm not sure it holds any further interest. Style only goes so far.

            Finished Emilia Perez tonight. Some high points but it eventually devolves into an unbelievable mess.

            If it wins it will be political not artistic.

                  I clearly disagree with several folks. Heretics, all.

                    I can’t remember what I posted before but overall I liked Conclave, the visuals, the insight into the ceremony, and of course I’m a big fan of the cast (Fiennes, Tucci, Lithgow…), the ending made me think it won’t will best picture but it’s also not as controversial as it could’ve been…

                      Sadly, I think this movie is about to get the best Oscars marketing evah

                        I can tell you it's one hell of a lot better than Emilia Perez.

                          I’ve heard things about Perez.

                          Also that it was a shoe in for an Oscar until one of the stars committed wrongthink.

                          Only non-witches get due process.

                            I think it will probably get an Oscar, but not best picture. There were some great performances and creative filmmaking but overall it just devolved into a gangster flick.
