Emilia Pérez

“Emilia Pérez” (2024), directed by Jacques Audiard, is a musical drama that follows the transformative journey of Juan “Manitas” Del Monte (Karla Sofía Gascón), a powerful Mexican cartel leader who undergoes gender-affirming surgery to escape her criminal past. The narrative explores themes of identity, redemption, and the complexities of transitioning, set against the vibrant backdrop of Mexican culture. Critics have lauded the film for its avant-garde approach and representation of underrepresented characters. However, it has faced criticism from queer critics and LGBTQ organizations, such as GLAAD, for its problematic portrayal of trans identity and reliance on stereotypical depictions of Mexican culture. The film has received significant awards buzz, including 10 Golden Globe nominations and leading spots on Oscar shortlists.
