At the Golden Globes on Sunday, Emilia Pérez walked away with one of the biggest prizes of the night: Best Picture, Musical or Comedy. But as Karla Sofía Gascón took the stage for a speech about self-actualization, the internet flamed the Netflix movie for what many called an inauthentic portrayal of Mexican culture and trans experience.

“When Mexicans tell you that a movie… is portraying a Mexico full of stereotypes, ignorance, lack of respect and is profiting from one of the most serious humanitarian crises in the world,” wrote Mexican actor Mauricio Morales in a Twitter statement. “Maybe… just maybe, believe Mexicans.”

Another Twitter user called the film’s Golden Globe wins a “joke,” adding that “it’s a racist, xenophobic mess with awful Mexican representation made by a French director who didn’t even bother to research our culture.”
