I'll be honest I only watched Miller's Girl (2024) out of mild curiosity after a bunch of people freaked out over the age difference between Freeman and Ortega. The movie isn't that great but I think the pearl clutchers are missing the point here. The movie could have done more to condemn a few of the teacher's actions, or his lack of actions in some cases, but overall you're supposed to agree this dynamic is unhealthy and unsettling. A fascinating performance from Jenna Ortega. I'd like to see more of her in the future. Other than that I don't think this one left much of an impression.

And this edgy idea is certainly heightened with the committed turns by Martin Freemman and Jenna Ortega. Barlett herself said she's "still a little LOL" that such big names are in her debut feature. "We really connected right away," she told us in regard to Freeman. "We just had really great chemistry, and he really understood the context and the content and the character. And he was not afraid of Jonathan. There was a pretty robust search for the actors for this movie. And a lot of actors that I met were afraid to play his weakness and were afraid of what he is. And of course, I totally understand, in this day and age, it's very tricky to play a character like that. And Martin was absolutely fearless and had such humanity for this character."
Damn, I wish it would have paid off a bit better.
