This decision has sparked discussions about the ethical implications of such portrayals in cinema.

Coverage of this event varies among outlets. The Straits Times and BBC News focus on Kinski's age and her statements regarding the lack of protection, while France 24 emphasizes the director's decision to pull the film.
