Suspiria: Dakota Johnson speaks out on bad reviews for horror – ‘It's a true work of art'

The horror remake has been adored by some but loathed by others; with reports of people walking out of early screenings.

Johnson has spoken out to say that the polarising responses make her all the more proud to have been involved.

“It’s a true work of art on [director Luca Guadagnino’s] part,” she told the Inquirer.

“I am thrilled to be a part of it. Of course, it’s nice to be involved in a film where everybody leaves the theatre happy, but then, do they go home and talk about it?”

She continued: “It’s a privilege to be involved in a film where people want to argue about what’s happening, because it’s really time for art to express the things that we need to express.

“People are ready for it. It’s an interesting moment, especially in cinema.

“And the fact that it’s a film with a cast of 40 women, but it is still controversial—perhaps we do need to focus on other things?”

Currently Suspiria has a 53% aggregated score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the likes of The Hollywood Reporter, Time and Variety slating it; while Time Out, IndieWire and Vulture heaped on praise.

Johnson’s dance sequences meant she needed a lot of training for the role – and the preparations overlapped with her filming on a totally different movie; Fifty Shades Freed.

“It was amazing to discover that I could do that with my body, but it was a lot of work, it was a lot of training,” she told Reuters.

“I worked for six months before filming.”

She added: “I was filming another movie in Vancouver, the third Fifty Shades movie, and I would go after work or before to train with the trainer.”

Suspiria sees Johnson playing Susie Bannon, who travels to the Markos Dance Academy in Berlin, where she meets artistic director Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton) – who becomes fascinated with her dancing skills.

As students at the academy begin to disappear, Susie and her friend Sara (Mia Goth) begin to unravel some horrifying secrets.

It’s not the only movie the 28-year-old has on the way: she’s also in Bad Times at the El Royale; due for release next month.

Suspiria is out on November 11.
