It was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress for Gascón, Best Supporting Actress for Saldaña and two nominations for Best Original Song. That comes after receiving a number of prizes at its world premiere at Cannes and wins in four different categories at the Golden Globes.Dora Pancardo said she found it entertaining to the point of not blinking during the musical numbers, but she did not like the film’s portrayal of violence.
Mexican film critic Gaby Meza said “Emilia Pérez” is “exotic and bold,” but without depth. “Not in the trans experience, not in the narco experience, not in the disappeared, but rather a touch of everything like an ingredient to sweeten.” Among them was Artemisa Belmonte, who has sought justice for her mother and three uncles who went missing in the northern state of Chihuahua in 2011. Belmonte started a petition on Change.org asking that the movie not be released in Mexico.
During a press conference in Mexico, director Audiard assured that he approached the subject with prudence and reflection, but recognized the criticism.Prominent filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro, Issa López, James Cameron, Denis Villeneuve and Meryl Streep have come to the movie’s defense. Láurel Miranda, a transgender human rights advocate said she had received a casting call for the film looking for “a middle-aged transgender actress with a robust build, because of course we trans women always have to be hardy,” she said sarcastically.
