A new Spanish-language production starring trans actress Karla Sofía Gascón has received 13 Oscar nominations, but it is being criticized for misrepresenting Mexico's drug-related violence. The film, which tells the story of a young woman who becomes involved in the drug trade, has been praised for its performances and cinematography, but critics are saying that it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and romanticizes the drug trade. Some are also upset that the film does not accurately depict the harsh realities of life in Mexico, where drug-related violence is a major issue. The controversy has sparked a heated debate about the representation of marginalized communities in media and the responsibility of filmmakers to accurately portray the world around them.
