Martin Freeman Defends ‘Miller’s Girl’ Against Backlash Over Age Gap

In the latest film ‘Miller’s Girl,’ Martin Freeman faces criticism for his role opposite Jenna Ortega, who is 31 years his junior. Despite the backlash, Freeman defends the movie as a complex and sophisticated exploration of challenging themes. Some viewers questioned the appropriateness of the relationship portrayed in the film, but Freeman argues that it was unfairly targeted compared to other controversial movie subjects. He even drew a parallel to Liam Neeson’s involvement in ‘Schindler’s List.’ ‘Miller’s Girl’ may not have been a box office hit, but it sparked important conversations about power dynamics and social norms. The film’s limited theatrical release did not reflect its thought-provoking content, and Freeman’s performance was praised for its depth and sensitivity. While ‘Miller’s Girl’ may not have received the acclaim it deserved, Freeman’s defense of the project highlights the importance of exploring challenging topics in cinema.
