Woody Allen‘s forthcoming new film has attracted criticism online for its apparent portrayal of an ‘inappropriate’ relationship.
The actor, writer and director is currently shooting his latest project, A Rainy Day In New York, on location in the titular city. The film stars Jude Law, Elle Fanning and Selena Gomez.
However, a major plot detail of A Rainy Day In New York has been slammed online for its reported depiction of a relationship between Law and Fanning’s characters.

Law, according to Page Six, plays a 44-year-old married man who “makes a fool of himself over every ambitious starlet and model”, with the character reportedly engaging in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old “concubine” – played by Fanning.
Page Six‘s report continues by detailing one particular scene involving the two characters: “In the scene, the so-called concubine acknowledges her relationship with Law’s much-older character, but then protests that she is 21 years old.
“After a discussion about his infidelity, Fanning’s character then asks Law, ‘Were all these women for pleasure, or were you researching a project?’”
Twitter users have criticised this reported scene and the relationship between the characters – see a selection of tweets below.
