""Miller’s Girl" is a daring & #intense #erotic thriller featuring a cunning villain, rich symbolism, and intriguing characters. Martin Freeman delivers his usual excellence, and Jenna Ortega shines again with another high-caliber performance. The film's supporting characters, including Winnie, Boris, and the hyper-sexual wife, inject #comical moments into the #tense storyline, providing a balance of levity amidst the #drama. While the ending may leave some unsatisfied due to its slight abruptness, the deliberate open-ended conclusion adds a #literary depth that invites discussion among movie enthusiasts. Therefore, I recommend MILLER’S GIRL for those seeking a thought-provoking and #provocative #thriller experience."
"It’s like every other student obsessed with their teacher movie type except for the role are reversed in this movie and it’s kind of creepy and they have an affinity to Writing, which is the only thing in this movie that makes it different from these types of movies"

"Not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be but I mean I can see why it’s made people uncomfortable (the age gap and subject material with it). You will NOT like it if that is too graphic or explicit I mean SPOILER ALERT: that essay our lead writes was something else. However, film itself has acting IMO that is pretty good and (for the most part) has a solid atmospheric tone to it . 7ish/10 "
"Wasn’t for me. A bit on the cringy side. Don’t know why this would even be ok to make a movie like this. 2 stars for the poetry loved that part, does sweep you into another world but alas nothing else did "

"“Heartbreak is a slow-motion car crash.”
Cairo Sweet engages in a sordid affair with her teacher, pushing every boundary and becoming the most cruelly manipulating, calculating girl along the way. I loved the darkly artistic sentiment ingrained in the voice-overs and muted, haunted colors that manifested like ghosts, hidden then found again. The power of words were continually harnessed and felt as I immersed myself in a world faraway, brought to life by the seductive art of poetry and overall craftsmanship of language.
Cairo and Mr. Miller both feel lost and broken out of their minds. Cairo, also, for all her quick-witted intelligence, shows her age through her stirring of drama and naïveté. She is trying so hard to be something or someone, feeling an imposter in her own skin, that she forgets how to live more genuinely and deeply for herself. After all, intellect and finding yourself are subjective and come from varied places. Being smart is also remarkably different from being wise.
This story demonstrates and emphasizes that life, academia, relationships, and power imbalances can all be complicated and hard to sift through. But, letting things stew and marinate usually elucidates further and brings more clarity on matters of complexity. "
