Miller's Girl 2024

Released in January 2024, Miller’s Girl is a psychological drama-thriller starring Jenna Ortega as Cairo Sweet, a precocious 18-year-old student, and Martin Freeman as Jonathan Miller, her disillusioned creative writing teacher. The plot follows Cairo, who lives alone in her family’s Tennessee mansion, as she develops an intense intellectual and increasingly inappropriate bond with Mr. Miller. Tasked with writing a short story in the style of her favorite author (Henry Miller), Cairo uses a real-life rain-soaked kiss between them as inspiration to craft a sexually explicit narrative. When Mr. Miller reads the story—reacting with both arousal and professional horror—he ultimately rejects the work as "unacceptable," prompting a vengeful Cairo to report him to the school administration. The fallout is catastrophic, resulting in Miller’s suspension and the collapse of his marriage to his alcoholic wife, Beatrice (Dagmara Domińczyk), as well as a rift with his best friend, Boris Fillmore (Bashir Salahuddin). Cairo eventually utilizes the destruction of Miller's life as the subject of her Yale admission essay, chillingly labeling the manipulation her "greatest achievement to date." The film features a supporting cast including Gideon Adlon as Cairo’s friend Winnie Black, Christine Adams as Vice Principal Joyce Manor, and Augustine Hargrave as Elliot. Financially, the movie had a modest performance against its estimated $4 million budget, earning approximately $1.88 million at the worldwide box office, with its strongest returns coming from international markets like Germany, Italy, and Hungary after a limited theatrical run in the United States.In terms of global availability, Miller’s Girl is currently available for streaming on Netflix in several major regions, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and India, while also being accessible through Lionsgate Play in various territories. For viewers in regions where it is not on a subscription platform, the film can be rented or purchased digitally on major VOD services such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and YouTube.
