In response to negative comments, Lily-Rose Depp and director Sam Levinson spoke up to defend the film at a press conference in Cannes. For Levinson, Jocelyn is a reflection of American culture, especially the influence of pornography on youth psychology. “It’s funny, I think sometimes things that could be revolutionary are pushed too far.

The filmmaker added that during the work, the production team and Lily-Rose Depp had many discussions to understand the actors and characters.
Sam Levinson says Jocelyn represents femininity. “When a character has such a strong sense of self and shows such intense desires, you underestimate her. Because you’re not sure why she did it? Why is she wearing this outfit? Why is she singing about this?”, the director said. Levinson believes that a generous and bold star like Jocelyn is both a factor that attracts audiences and a warning bell for everyone about the dark side of the entertainment industry. “It’s something that captures the imagination. And I think it’s very true to what most pop stars are doing today,” the director commented.
Meanwhile, Lily-Rose Depp said about the character she portrays: “Jocelyn is a girl who was born and raised as a performer. That is embedded in every aspect of her life, not just the professional aspect. I think her dressing style is also a way for her to try to say something, express something to the people around her as well as herself.” The 9X actress believes that Jocelyn’s bold, naked scenes reflect the character’s personality in the most authentic way.
