Selena Gomez responds to criticism of Netflix role

As a gamer with a deep appreciation for the arts, I’ve seen my fair share of performances – from epic quests in virtual worlds to the gritty realism of indie films. The recent controversy surrounding Selena Gomez’s performance in “Emilia Pérez” has certainly piqued my interest.

Selena Gomez has responded to criticism of her performance in the Netflix film Emilia Pérez.

This comedic musical tells the story of a mafia leader yearning for a covert transformation and fresh beginnings. Hailing from France, Jacques Audiard serves as the director. The movie takes place in Mexico and features dialogue in both English and Spanish.

The criticism came from the Spanish-language podcast Hablando de Cine, where episode guest and actor Eugenio Derbez discussed the director not understanding the language and culture he was portraying, as well as the performance of non-native Spanish speaker Gomez.

Host Gaby Meza concurred, expressing: “It seems to me that she’s not clear on what she’s expressing. If she isn’t precise in her expression, she won’t be able to add depth or subtlety to her acting.” (paraphrased by AI)

In a response to a TikTok clip featuring a podcast discussion, Gomez expressed her perspective by saying: “I get your point.

As a devoted admirer, I want to express my sincere apologies for any shortcomings you might have noticed in the film. Despite the constraints of time, I poured my utmost effort and passion into every frame, and that dedication remains unchanged.

In a subsequent interaction, Derbez acknowledged her reaction, expressing regret for his remarks on her acting skills and labeling them as unjustifiable.

As a fellow Latino, I firmly believe that we ought to stand together, without exception. My past mistakes have taught me this lesson, and I genuinely appreciate your successful journey and the compassionate spirit you carry.

Emilia Pérez should be honored rather than tarnished by my careless words. I take away a crucial lesson from this incident. Even though I recognize that my apology might not be enough for you, please understand that it is sincere and heartfelt.

During a conversation with Digital Spy, Gomez shared that he had to let go of his previous performing methods entirely to fully embrace the rigorous routine of singing and dancing for a musical production.

Emilia Pérez is available to stream on Netflix now.
