So I watched Emilia Pérez.
Though Mexican and LGBTQ communities criticized Emilia Perez for misrepresenting their experiences, my initial skepticism gave way to appreciation. Despite expecting to mock the film, I was moved by its sentimental moments, particularly Gascón's performance as Emilia, songs like "Aqui Estoy," and the visual composition. While I acknowledge the film's problematic elements, particularly its misrepresentation of Mexican culture and the tasteless "La Vaginoplastia" scenes, it slightly exceeded my low expectations.
