Mexican moviegoers are asking for a refund after watching ‘Emilia Pérez’ in theaters

  1. How does this industry still exist. One or two people of X demographic do something, and some rag writes an article pretending they all think the same way. They do it to Gen Z and millennials all the time

  2. As they should. The movie sucks and Karla is a racist and Hitler sympathizer.

  3. If you paid money to see that trash, it’s on you.

  5. Selena Gomez’ hilariously bad Mexican accent is cause enough to demand a refund.

  8. I saw one clip of this movie and decided in that moment that I will never watch it. It looks terrible.

  9. Surely they won’t still award an Oscar to this racist, bigoted hag, right?

  10. I would love to see more 1800’s movies, Civil War, Revolutionary War, Reconstruction-era, I don’t know I feel like that’s a time period we don’t get to see too often

  11. Not very surprised that the artsy French director’s idea of Mexico isn’t well received by the actual Mexicans.

  13. I’ve really been enjoying all the crazy reviews and fallout from this, it’s somehow been really entertaining. 

  14. This movie is such trash and it deserves all the hate it gets.

  15. Mexican here. So, Cinépolis has this thing called the Cinépolis Guarantee, which isn’t really about getting refunds—it’s more like an unofficial “seal of approval” for good movies. The idea is that if a movie sucks, people will walk out in the first 20 minutes and claim the guarantee, but since most people don’t bother, it’s usually only exercised for truly awful films.

    The thing is, we’ve never seen a movie where so many people agreed it was bad enough to actually use the guarantee en masse—until now. That’s why it’s blowing up. It’s not just a few people asking for refunds; it’s entire screenings realizing, yeah, this is not it, and leaving.

    At this point, Cinépolis should just use the number of refund requests as an official movie rating system. Forget Rotten Tomatoes—if your movie triggers a Guarantee Mass Exodus, congrats, you’ve made cinema history.
