The creators of the series were delighted with Millie's acting. Unlike most of the child actors, she adapted to the cameras position and the shooting conditions. Occasionally, the team forgot about her age (at the moment of filming the first season she was 11 years old), but sometimes she was acting like a child. Once Brown came on a shoot full covered in sequins and to the question where she got them, she answered: "I have no idea." It took about an hour to wash the young actress.

Together with her father, she came to the Legendary Pictures studio and presented her project, and it was approved, because the actual idea of gender equality ran through the plot.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a young female British lead [in a film]. Obviously, we have Hermione from Harry Potter, but she wasn’t the lead. So, we wanted to make something that would inspire young girls.

All the important and main roles still didn`t play by Millie Bobby Brown. I hope she will not stay that `girl-eleven` from `Stranger Things`.

Maybe just because of her age, but now I can`t call Millie Bobby Brown a beautiful girl. Just some gawky teenager.

Just an ordinary actress as others. Millie Bobby Brown is not so pretty and in my view she is not charismatic.
