It’s a vivid and evocative work that punches with brass knuckles through the Lolita pages it’s playing with and sears with the strength and fresh agony of a soul laid bare.

Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman cannot save Jade Halley Barlett’s romantic thriller Miller’s Girl from falling victim to its excessive ambition.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 20, 2024

By the time Cairo asserts that she's "grown from human ruins," all you're really reminded of is how embarrassing your old high school journals are.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 27, 2024

The film which boasts to acknowledge the complexities between desire and desperation, villain and victim, adolescence and adulthood, fails to develop any conversation with its lackluster narrative, and lack of focus on the film’s main theme.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 17, 2024

Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman have a significant presence on screen, but can't help Miller's Girl from feeling cringeworthy.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 3, 2024

Even when it oozes with extraness, Miller’s Girl is an erotic thriller that isn’t that erotic or thrilling.

| Jun 11, 2024

Very much a heightened, psychosexual romp a la Tennessee Williams (think Baby Doll or Summer and Smoke), designed to be equally as disturbing as it is alluring.

| May 24, 2024

Miller’s Girl makes the critical mistake of taking bad sex writing and then layering it on top of the attempts it makes at cinematic eroticism, stopping dead in its tracks any visceral engagement the audience could otherwise feel from the latter.

| Feb 28, 2024

Miller's Girl, in the end, feels exactly like what it is: a first attempt. It's ambitious, and it has good, even great things about it, but as a school report might put it, it (and its creator) shows promise but is just not quite there yet.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 26, 2024

Miller’s Girl sucks.

| Feb 20, 2024

The hot-for-teacher drama backfires as it gets icky rather quickly when the repartee turns farcical. Good cast, and beautifully shot, but never able to rise above the ill-matched Freeman-Ortega combo.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 9, 2024

About as steamy as a bowl of cold noodles.

| Original Score: C | Feb 9, 2024

...feels lost, rudderless, like everyone is acting in a completely different movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 6, 2024

Writer/director Jade Halley Barrett brings back all of the ickiness of the 1960s-'80s, when movies and 온라인카지노추천 commercials portrayed tween and teen girls as sexually provocative and available to men.

My worst list of 2024 starts right here.

| Original Score: 2.2/10 | Feb 2, 2024

From one scene to the next, a viewer may experience trouble discerning whether this is a merely stupid movie, an amusing specimen of semi-witting camp, or stealth coup of high-wire self-parody.

| Feb 2, 2024

Jenna Ortega is unquestionably headed for major stardom, but this paltry star-making vehicle is far from the premier example of the male teacher-female student Lolita-genre, which is the play "Oleanna" (1992) by David Mamet.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 1, 2024

A harmless superficial thriller that loses steam pretty quickly. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 30, 2024

In the first layer, Miller's Girl presents us with controversial and complex topics such as #MeToo and grooming to give us a twist that brings us closer to the darkest part of the desire that resides in the hearts of many [Full Review in Spanish]

What cannot be denied is that the film is well shot and that Ortega, like Freeman, fulfills their roles without much fault, which, for many spectators, will be more than sufficient. [Full review in Spanish]
