The film's emotional climax, Emilia's funeral, serves as a cathartic moment that ultimately oversimplifies the deeper issues of inequality the characters address.
Led by Emilia's girlfriend, Epifanía, relatives of victims pay loving homage to the tear-stained effigy: 'A quién hizo el milagro de cambiar el dolor en oro,' showcasing the mixed emotions and pain intertwined within the film.
Despite its flaws, Emilia has received critical acclaim for its performances, particularly from actresses like Karla Sofia Gascón and Zoe Saldaña, and the poignant portrayal of women amidst Mexico's violence.
While Audiard initially draws us into the women's experiences, the film ultimately veers away from meaningful reflection on female empowerment and tackles intricate themes of Mexico's struggle with violence and femicide.
