Miller's Girl (2024)

‘Miller’s Girl’ offers twisty drama but occasionally falls into cliche. Playwright-turned-filmmaker Jade Halley Bartlett here crafts the story of a flirtatious relationship between a teacher and a student that takes a dark turn.Opening in theaters on January 26th, ‘Miller’s Girl’ takes a dynamic that has been portrayed many times on screen –– the complicated, troubling teacher/student relationship that threatens to cross over into something less legally defined through the actions of one or both.

Here, writer/director Jade Halley Bartlett looks to tell her own take on that tale, finding a way through a particularly knotty path that sometimes finds itself in the weeds of expectation and tone.
