Amelia Perez is a movie that has faced significant backlash from both critics and audiences. Despite receiving four Golden Globes and snagging an astonishing 13 Oscar nominations—second only in history—many question how this film managed to garner such recognition. The film, a musical about a Mexican drug lord transitioning into a woman, has been called “offensive” on numerous levels, criticized for its portrayal of Mexico, its handling of transgender issues, and the apparent lack of artistic quality.
