This “musical” is flawed in so many ways. It’s ironic that the director wanted to tell a story about the problems of drug trafficking in Mexico, yet they didn’t even study the country or at least the city. It’s also quite offensive that non-Spanish speakers think the translation is accurate, when it’s not. It’s really hard to understand what they’re trying to say. I’m sure that if the situation were reversed—if they made a movie meant for English speakers and the characters didn’t speak English well—it wouldn’t receive the positive reviews or awards that Emilia Perez has won.
