Gothic Tennessean high school senior and writer Cairo studies literature under Jonathan Miller, an author who turned to teaching when his novels failed to take off. Being a bookworm, she’d already read his assigned reading, leaving him impressed. He takes her under his wing as his star pupil, and the two spend time together outside the school grounds, attending writing events. Cairo’s lesbian best friend—amused by flirting with the school’s coach to get what she wants—convinces her to use her writing to seduce the already-wed Miller. When Miller assigns her a midterm assignment earlier than everyone else, she uses his prompt to project her inner desires about him onto the page, catapulting them into a controversial situation.

- bonniemoseley@me.com: Miller’s Girl is an exceptional movie that shows two people crossing a line that leads to inappropriate behavior and devastating consequences. The movie has extremely complex characters, a wonderfully written plot, beautiful cinematography, great music, and keeps you trying to figure out whether these characters are good or bad. I love the dialogue between the characters. The writer/director lets the audience decide how they feel about the characters and their behavior. Many of the scenes are left unanswered. The audience has to decide what they think happens, and the meaning behind the final scene. I highly recommend this movie.
- r96sk: Rather odd, yet just narrowly works… I think.
The performances of Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman are two that I found entertaining. I’m usually nonplussed by the latter actor, I tend to find him quite mid in terms of acting but this is probably the most I’ve enjoyed him throughout the entire run time of a movie; he has better roles, sure, but purely on his delivery etc. this is a good showing of his.
‘Miller’s Girl’ does deliver a strange story, one that does feel quite amateurly written and one that’s deseprate to be salacious. For an “erotic thriller”, it doesn’t really show all that much – if, admittedly, that’s for the best in this regard. I will say, though, that Ortega and Freeman play it all off well enough though, which is probably why I didn’t hate it.
I’m not surprised to see it tank on Letterboxd, even if I’m evidently not someone who feels as negatively as a load of others do about this 2024 flick. I do tend to give movies with good performances a pass as they can mask any other misgivings, so that ought to explain it.
