The film will be available to stream on Netflix this April 25th.

“Miller’s Girl” premiered at the Palm Springs festival earlier this year, meeting some controversy due to the complex topics it explores and the 31 year age gap between its lead actors.

Written, and directed by Jade Halley Bartlett in her debut feature, the film follows the connection between Cairo Sweet (Ortega), an 18 year old student, and her teacher Jonathan Miller (Freeman), a creative writing professor that feels professionally and creatively unfulfilled. The two develop a bond over literature, with the film exploring its complex consequences.
