Lawyer Rita, overqualified but underrepresented, gets a very special job: cartel boss Manitas del Monte wants out of the gangster world. And not only that: he wants to live the way he has always felt, namely as a woman.
A gangster film about a trans woman, and a musical to boot: Jacques Audiard, one of France's great directors (A PROPHET; THE TASTE OF RUST AND KNOTS; WHERE THE SUN RISES IN PARIS) succeeds in making an overwhelming, stormy, profound and thoroughly surprising film that plays with genre forms and always takes its theme of self-realization and self-empowerment seriously. Even if the leading actress has discredited herself through reactionary tweets: The movie is a tremendous experience!
