Women's Refuge head Dr Anj Jury said films like 365 Days hid the reality of violence and abuse. When it was first launched in New Zealand, 365 Days carried a rating of R16, but that was bumped up after Chief Censor David Shanks got involved. Duffy said it grieved her that Netflix would provide a platform for a film that eroticised kidnapping and distorted sexual violence and trafficking as sexy. Netflix Australia declined to comment, but a spokesperson told news agency Reuters that Netflix had licensed the film and was not involved in the production.
