"Jenna Ortega's 'Miller's Girl' Fails to Impress Critics"

"Miller's Girl," directed by Jade Halley Bartlett, is a psychological thriller that falls short, featuring an uncomfortably miscast Martin Freeman and a vapid, silly plot that aims to titillate but traps gifted actors in a fog of pheromones and cliché. The film revolves around a teacher, Jonathan Miller, and his student, Cairo Sweet, whose provocative behavior and pretentious narration lead to an inappropriate relationship. Despite attempts at depth, the movie is criticized for its glaring artifice and lack of substance.
