We are completely in the bustle of the Golden Globes season season and, more importantly, the Oscars right behind the corner. Oscar nominations were recently announced for 2025 And now we know which films will compete for the desired award for best film. That list includes several critical pets, such as "brutalist" and "Anora", and there are also a few surprises - perhaps the most significant movie about Mubi's body's "substance" body. But one of the nominees is not like others, because it is by no means a critical favorite.

Netflix's Emilia Perez movie has the worst rating of Rotten Tomatoes's critical approval of the ten films nominated for Best Oscars this year. By the time of writing, there is 76% approval from the critics of the site, with 237 criticism counted. Even more striking, there is a huge approval of 34% of the audience, suggesting that several average viewers did not care about the writer/director Jacques Audier had to offer it. For context, here's the full list of nominees for the best film for 2025, along with their appropriate RT results.

For those who may not know, Emilia Perez follows the journey of four women to Mexico, each of them following his happiness. The terrible leader of the Emilia Cartel (Carla Sofia Gascon) hired Rita (Zoe Saldanja), an innocent lawyer stuck in blind work, to help her death for Emilia finally complete her gender transformation and live as authentic as her true self. Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz and Edgar Ramirez are also playing.

The film not only won the Best Film Award, but leads all other competitive films with a total of 13 nominations, including one for Zoe Saldanja, best known for her work in large sci-fi franchises as an Avatar And "Guardians of the Galaxy", which is the first nominated in the category of best supporting female role. Unless Netflix does not have a disappointing night ahead, he will probably go with at least a few big awards. It could smooth many people the wrong way.

Jeremy Matai called Emilia Perez's "Biggest Bigger and Missing" 2024 in his /film review Outside the New York Film Festival. It was a mixed bag to be sure. More than that, he was completely controversial, but still managed to become a real favorite for the prizes season. Specifically, the film is at stake because of Mexico's screening and the lack of Mexican actors or filmmakers. His director Jacques Audier is a Frenchman. None of the main actors is of Mexican origin.

In an interview with Deadline"Pedro Paramo" director Rodrigo Prieto said she was "unhappy that the film was not shot in Mexico" before adding "all the work is entirely unusual". Netflix's lush, music/drug cartel drama has also been criticized for its presentation of the transgender community. PogrobFor example, she published a piece in November saying that the movie "Not a Good Transition", and also called what they called "a deeply retrograde portrait of a trance woman".

There are more nuances in this situation than this particular piece can afford the film and discussion about it, but at least it is worth understanding that this film is not even close to being universally loved. However, however, Emilia Perez is now a serious Oscar candidate and a few more people are likely to check it out now that I listed a few big heads ahead of Hollywood's biggest night.

The 97th annual Oscars award ceremony is held on Sunday, March 2, 2025 at ABC.
