Interesting Drama - Miller's Girl review by GI
A drama that has two compelling performances from Martin Freeman and Jenny Ortega and one that dances around your expectations without ever actually fulfilling any of them. At times the language feels so ostentatious it struggles to convince but there is a sense of dreaming and of regrets that could be countered with redemption. Jon (Freeman) is a creative writing teacher at a Tennessee college. He's a failed writer who has turned to teaching convincing himself this was a good choice but really he was badly affected by the criticism of his last book. His alcoholic wife (Dagmara Dominczyk - solid performance) niggles him about this constantly. Jon is, however, impressed by new student Cairo (Ortega), the daughter of wealthy parents who are absent so she lives alone in their mansion. She has talent which Jon spots immediately and he's drawn to her by this. Cairo is though an enigmatic character, part child of nature, part narcissist who wants only to ensure she's the smartest person around. Given a writing assignment by Jon Cairo pushes him and the college regime by what she writes which implies an affair between them. It's open to debate as to whether Jon crosses acceptable boundaries with Cairo or whether he simply dreams of doing so. He's sexually frustrated especially as his wife is constantly half dressed and any intimacy between them is always interrupted before satisfying either of them. Whether you read this as a story of a manipulative young woman dominating a weaker man or a man convinced he's a failure dreaming of some other future for himself it's a film that has an unsatisfying conclusion and yet interesting all the same.

Difficult to hear dialogue - Miller's Girl review by GH
I had to stop watching this film after half an hour, as it was pretty impossible to understand a word of what was going on. The dialogue is so badly articulated, and the young girls both mumbled and spoke so badly, I just gave up. I find t his more and more with American films in particular, where many of the actors don't speak clearly. So no idea what the plot was, I couldn't be bothered to find out.
