Film ThreatBobby LePireJan 25, 2024
Miller’s Girl is a stunning debut from Bartlett. The plot is winding and intriguing, with an absolute gut punch of an ending. Read full review

ColliderAidan KelleyJan 24, 2024
Freeman's charismatic and versatile performance as the embattled teacher injects a fascinating level of humanity into the fleshed-out character. Read full review

IndieWireSamantha BergesonJan 24, 2024
There is no hero or villain, only a murky undercurrent questioning whether having a muse is inherently predatory or not. And that story is worth writing. Read full review

PolygonTasha RobinsonJan 29, 2024
Miller’s Girl is a luxuriant meal for [Ortega], a chance to play a variety of facets of the same girl while finding the connections between them. For everyone else, though, it’s short rations, and more than a little underbaked. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperJan 26, 2024
The putatively provocative and wannabe-controversial erotic thriller “Miller’s Girl” is a sordid little tale that isn’t nearly as clever and literary as it tries to be, nor is it as deliberately campy as 20th century entries in the genre such as “Wild Things” or even “Poison Ivy.” Read full review

Within the muchness of it all, there are both occasionally thrilling moments and too little in terms of substance. Read full review

VarietyTodd GilchristJan 25, 2024
Written, produced and directed by Jade Halley Bartlett, the film is both impressively erudite and unrelentingly self-aware, a combination it bravely attempts but doesn’t quite fully balance. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshJan 26, 2024
The movie strikes that wild, so-bad-it’s-entertaining chord vigorously. I can’t recommend Miller’s Girl but I also can’t recommend it enough. Read full review

The Seattle TimesChase HutchinsonFeb 14, 2024
The funniest element of what vaguely gestures toward dark comedy is how poorly written this story about writers is. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJan 25, 2024
What a salacious and silly miscalculation Miller’s Girl turns out to be. Read full review

Wall Street JournalKyle SmithFeb 2, 2024
The most annoying tactic in the script is its repeated, strenuous attempts to convince us that we’re in the rarefied air of serious literary discussion. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisJan 25, 2024
A work of glaring artifice, Miller’s Girl, written and directed by Jade Halley Bartlett, is being touted as a psychological thriller, but it’s too vapid and silly to do much besides titillate. Read full review

CNNBrian LowryJan 25, 2024
A sort-of psychological, semi-erotic drama that, despite its literary pretensions, possesses roughly the intellectual heft of a perfume ad. Read full review

The Associated PressMark KennedyJan 24, 2024
Jenna Ortega’s stark rise as Gen Z’s goth-glam princess takes a pointless, awkward turn in “Miller’s Girl,” a new romantic horror movie about cerebral people that’s simply tiresome. Read full review
