Not all of Emilia Pérez works. The film is a home run hitter swinging for the fences at every at bat. Sometimes it knocks a scene out of the park. Sometimes it strikes out on three pitches, all well outside of the strike zone. It’s a musical featuring mostly conversational songs which occasionally are unexpectedly bolstered by a full choir. It’s a story about transition and change but is highlighted by characters falling back into bad habits which question how much people actually change. And it’s a tale of characters struggling with real emotional turmoil in a plot that is more interested in melodrama.

Only Murders in the Building - Escape From Planet Klongo / My Best Friend's Wedding

The Fourth Season of Only Murders in the Building comes to a close with a trip to the set of Ron Howard’s (appearing as himself after a long tease that suggested he might not make an appearance) new film, the reveal of the killer and his motive, and a wedding (along with the tease of a new murder to solve next season). Along with Howard’s appearance, which actually confirms one of Oliver‘s (Martin Short) outlandish stories, the final two episodes fill in the gaps to Sazz‘s (Jane Lynch) murder providing not only the motive writer turned stuntman turned writer Marshall P. Pope (Jin Ha) but the events which led up her death.

Only Murders in the Building - Lifeboat

Returning to the Arconia, and the Westies of Vince (Richard Kind), Rudy (Kumail Nanjiani), Alfonso (Desmin Borges), Inez (Daphne Rubin-Vega), and Ana (Lilian Rebelo), “Lifeboat” solves the death of Dudenoff (Griffin Dunne) while still leaving unanswered questions about the murder of Sazz (Jane Lynch). Dudenoff killing himself for his friends and them fulfilling his wishes by faking his continued existence feels an awful lot like the writers struggling to get themselves out of a dead end of their own making. The show ends with another cliffhanger and a new direction for the investigation pointing to the set of the film Sazz was working on and another familiar face.
