Amy Schumer Sparks Backlash After She Named A Nazi Movie As Her 'Movie Of The Year'

Earlier, Amy Schumer was under the radar for her comments on Israel’s military in Gaza. While this chatter was still simmering, the American comedian and actress has found herself in a soup once again. This time, she is facing criticism after she named a Nazi movie as her “movie of the year.”

Taking to her Instagram, Amy Schumer shared a picture from ‘Zone Of Interest.’ She wrote, “I stand corrected. @a24 Zone of interest is the movie of the year. And performance of the year if you ask me is @daniebb3 in Color Purple.” The post has fetched more than 3K likes. Amy has turned off comments for all the posts on her Instagram.

‘Zone Of Interest’ is a historical drama film that has been directed by Jonathan Glazer. The film centers around Rudolf Hoss, a senior Nazi officer at the extermination camp in Auschwitz. The plot tells the story of Rudolf and his wife, Hedwig, who build a dream life for themselves and their kids in a house and garden which is located right next to the notorious camp. More than a million people were exterminated by the Nazis at Auschwitz.

The 42-year-old actor has always been vocal about her Jewish upbringing. She has also talked about how she had to deal with anti-Semitism as a child.

While Amy has turned off the comments, people shared screenshots of her post criticizing her for her choice of the film. They talked about how unimpressed they were with her choice. Some also said that her choice was not surprising considering her previous comments.
