On Wednesday night, Fanning responded to the criticism in an Instagram story.

"After her hippie British parents are murdered, Lilly is raised at a Sufi shrine in Morocco," reads the blurb on Goodreads. "As a young woman she goes on pilgrimage to Harar, Ethiopia, where she teaches Qur'an to children and falls in love with an idealistic doctor.

Although Fanning's response caused some people to suggest Deadline apologise to Fanning for their "misleading headline", which the publisher has now updated, others were still unhappy with the concept of the movie as a whole.
