Dakota Johnson has opened up about watching her latest film, Madame Webb, after it was slammed by critics.
The daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, 34, who plays the title character in the new superhero film, said she was unable to watch the film during her interview with Magic FM on Thursday.
“I don’t know when I’ll see it,” she said. 'Someday.'
After humorously recalling that she skipped the Madame Web premiere to “go out to eat” instead, Dakota insisted her decision had nothing to do with the film itself.
“For me, it’s a way to avoid having an existential crisis,” she admitted. “Not watching my films is like self-care.”

The big reveal comes after Madame Web, which also stars Sydney Sweeney, debuted with a 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics called the film “as stupid and schlocky as the worst film in the genre” and “a ridiculous affair.”
X, formerly known as Twitter, was flooded with negative comments about it, with one person calling the film “a series of failures and missed opportunities.”
Another described it as “a clunky, poorly written, chaotic and sloppy film full of mediocre editing and performances.”
Another user simply wrote: “Morbius was better.”
Sony's Morbius, released in 2022 and starring Jared Leto, is considered one of the worst-reviewed superhero films of all time, with a low 15 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, some people praised Madame Web online following its premiere.

Dakota was accompanied at the premiere by her co-star, Mexican actor José María Yazpik (l), who plays Santiago, and the film's director and co-writer SJ Clarkson (r).
“Madame Web exceeds expectations. “Some of the dialogue is cheesy, some of the product placement is clumsy and probably could have been cleaned up a bit – but the cast really works beautifully with what they had, they have a lot of chemistry and the suits look great,” wrote one Reviewer then on X.
