Miller’s Girl is the romantic drama that has been generating debates and discussions about its theme on social media, especially because it stars Jenna Ortega (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) and Martin Freeman (Sherlock).

Written and directed by Jade Halley Bartlett, the movie has not only become a trend after its premiere at the Palm Springs Film Festival but has now regained attention after arriving on Netflix.

Suspense, intrigue and even a touch of comedy are some of the elements that characterize this dark story of obsession, which revolves around a student and a teacher who have a significant age difference.

The story follows a young writer who becomes involved with her high school creative writing teacher, challenging the blurred lines of emotional connectivity between teacher and protege, child and adult.

It all began in December 2016, when Jade Halley Bartlett‘s speculative script, also directed by her, was acquired by Seth Rogen’s Point Gray Pictures and was included on the Hollywood Black List of unproduced scripts.

Shortly after starting the project’s development, they sought out different faces for the main roles, until they found Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman, who bring Cairo Sweet and Jonathan Miller to life in the movie.
