The new movie is set in 1930s London following the life of theatre critic Jimmy Erskine portrayed by Sir Ian, 85.

In The Critic, a whirlwind whodunnit storyline starts to unravel as the newspapers and actors of the day, including Gemma who plays actress Nina Land in the film, attempt bribes and blackmail to stop the scandalous reviews from surfacing. 

The film is an adaption of the 2015 novel Curtain Call by Anthony Quinn.   

Earlier this year Gemma spoke very candidly about the Sєxism still present in the film industry and slammed the ‘dinosaurs’ still working with outdated atтιтudes.

The actress admitted she was told to be less vocal about feminism before the #MeToo movement and shared her frustration about the ‘hypocrisy’ in the industry.

She said although things are getting better, there are still ‘old dinosaurs’ who have outdated atтιтudes and behaviours and said it is ‘tragic’ that people are still facing Sєxism.

Speaking on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast, she said: ‘There are certain dinosaurs that are still working to this day.’

‘It has changed a lot thankfully since the sixties but there’s definitely still things where I feel like it’s more about the old dinosaurs that are still working where you kind of have to shake them and go, “Hello this is 2023, we don’t do that anymore!”‘

Gemma revealed she was also told to be less opinionated about feminism by a Hollywood manager and said she was told it could ‘hold’ her career back.

She fumed over the ‘hypocrisy’ in the industry as she said the same manager then supported the #MeToo movement years later when feminism became ‘fashionable’.

She said: ‘I think back when all of this Times Up, #MeToo stuff was happening, it just felt like this is the time to speak up but even before then, I was speaking up and I remember I was speaking up about equal pay or something, you know, just feminist s**t.’

‘And this American manager came to see me in a show and he literally said, “Can you stop the feminism thing because it’s not doing you any favours”.
