Not really, it seems loved most places. Like practically every Best Picture winner it's experiencing a bit of a backlash immediately after winning, people that weren't that into it being more vocal due to the award most likely. Always happens.
Probably best posed in a relevant thread so people can give more substantive responses, but for me the short version is that the bad guys are cartoonish, the message is clumsily overt, and it never really finds the right balance between the fairy tale vibe and the adult issues it wants to talk about.
Why do you keep mentioning progress? Are people saying it's progress?
A film about a trans woman won the best foreign language oscar and said trans woman presented one of the awards. Think that would more be the progress you're looking for.

Maybe I'm still salty about The Dark Knight not even receiving a nomination. Cuz I saw the movie and enjoyed the hell out of it. But Fish people don't actually exist, yeah? So, yeah, progress. Now a Science fiction movie can win so maybe a (gasp!) super-hero flick can win it too.
If America is OK with cross-breeding then surely we're OK with a guy in tights winning Best Picture? They were black tights. Pretty manly, I reckon.
