Selena Gomez fans furious over new Emilia Perez movie as they call it the 'most offensive film of the year'

As a dedicated follower who has witnessed Selena Gomez’s journey from Disney darling to pop sensation and now to actress, I must say that the reactions to her latest film, Emilia Perez, have left me rather perplexed. Having grown up with Selena’s music, it was an exhilarating experience to see her venture into acting, especially in a film as ambitious as this one.


Selena Gomez’s most recent movie titled Emilia Perez is sparking a range of diverse viewpoints amongst her audience, and the feedback varies from one extreme to another.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but rave about the captivating Netflix production that Jacques Audiard masterfully directed. In this musical-thriller, the 32-year-old pop sensation transformed into Jessi Del Monte, a multifaceted character who juggles being a wife and mother of two.

Although many people appreciated her acting, the overall movie received mixed reactions from the audience, with a significant number criticizing it harshly.

On Reddit, one user was direct in their assessment, referring to Emilia Perez as “possibly the most disappointing film of the year for me.

They didn’t mince words, stating bluntly, ‘It was astonishingly offensive, as it managed to hit every cliché found in poor trans movies, and this was before even considering its portrayal of Mexican culture. However, the most disappointing aspect was how excruciatingly dull the entire production turned out to be.’

Another critic shared the sentiment, writing, ‘I’m honestly baffled that this movie has gotten any love at all.’

Yet another posted, ‘Felt like watching a bad SNL skit in many parts.’  

On Twitter, some enthusiasts expressed a distinct perspective, praising the movie for its innovative ideas and exceptional acting.

One user dubbed it as the “standout film of the year,” while another described it as an “impressive display in all aspects.” This makes it sound even more appealing, doesn’t it?

Emilia Pérez embodies a rich tapestry of feelings and is an exceptionally original and moving musical production that delves deeply into profound and thought-provoking themes using compelling narrative.

A different user commented that Audiard skillfully tackled themes of self-discovery and metamorphosis within the film, likening it to an extraordinary fusion of humor, criminal intrigue, and melodic aspects, which harmoniously intertwined in a way that was both captivating and unforeseen.

The film, as per IMDb, unfolds in Mexico and narrates the tale of a lawyer who encounters an unforeseen proposition to aid a notorious cartel leader in retiring from his operations and vanishing completely by assuming the role he’s long desired – a woman.

Earlier this year, the movie garnered a lot of attention, claiming the Jury Prize during the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May. The exceptional acting by its female cast earned them the Best Actress award.

According to Elle’s report, Nina Garcia expressed her admiration for the film, saying something along the lines of, “This movie is truly remarkable!

‘It is surprising and moving and audacious, unlike anything I have ever seen. But, most of all, it is a complete original. As a fellow storyteller, I know this is the hardest thing to achieve, and when we do it well, it is the most satisfying.’

She remarked, “Gazing about this room, I’m struck by the variety in our community. Each one of you represents a unique blend of experiences and exceptional abilities. Yet, at the same time, I can’t help but notice our shared bond.

In addition, Gomez discussed the topic of camaraderie when she pondered in the magazine feature: ‘The bond among us proved to be our saving grace. It continues to sustain me. I’m incredibly grateful that I don’t have to face numerous challenges alone.’

As a devoted admirer, I’m following the ongoing buzz surrounding Gomez’s performance in the movie. For the time being, it remains uncertain whether Emilia Perez’s portrayal is a genuine success or merely a wave of excitement.
