Miller’s Girl is finally available on Prime Video

Miller’s Girla psychological thriller directed by Jade Halley Bartlett, is now available to stream on Prime Video in France. Released in the United States in January 2024, the film quickly attracted attention for its controversial plot and the debates it has sparked in the press and on social networks. The feature film stars Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman in the lead roles and deals with a complex relationship between a teacher and his student.

The film’s story follows Cairo Sweet (Jenna Ortega), a talented eighteen-year-old writer, and her teacher, Jonathan Miller (Martin Freeman), a writer in decline. The latter, fascinated by the creative potential of his student, develops an ambiguous relationship with her, raising questions about power dynamics and moral limits in education. This sensitive topic has contributed to the controversy surrounding the film, especially because of the age difference between the two actors (31 years of difference), an aspect that has raised criticism for the representation on screen of unbalanced relationships.

Intimate sequences under strict surveillance

When it was released in the US and UK, Miller’s Girl received mixed reviews. While some praised the actors’ performances, particularly that of Jenna Ortega, others expressed reservations about the film’s approach to its complex themes. Martin Freeman defended the filminsisting that it was a “nuanced” work that did not seek to glorify the relationships depicted on screen, but to explore them from a dramatic perspective.

The film’s intimate scenes also received special attention. The project’s intimacy coordinator, Kristina Arjona, explained that everything was carefully supervised to ensure that the actors, especially Jenna Ortega, felt comfortable during filming. Strict protocols were put in place to ensure these scenes were filmed in conditions that respected everyone’s boundaries.

Miller’s Girl is now accessible to French viewers via Prime Video.
