When Miller’s Girl was released this year there was a lot of controversy surrounding the movie, for lots of reasons. The biggest of which is that false accusations are less than 3% of sexual assault reports and we know that most assaults are not reported. So making a movie that explodes this narrative that false accusations are a bigger problem than they actually are is extremely harmful. Second of all, as if to enhance this problem, Martin Freeman is not a great person. He has made several jokes about date rape and so his casting added to this first problem. So we watched the movie super legally so as to not contribute to anyone’s paycheck. For journalistic integrity I needed to see if the internet was actually right about the films issues…

So let’s recap; Problematic subject matter, spearheaded by a problematic man and all executed poorly. 0/10. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about this movie, one should be very wary of anyone that liked it. And I genuinely think that the very fact that it was produced at all should have everyone very very worried. This is not a message that we want out in the world, it is extremely damaging and has no business being consumed.
