It cab be said that verbosity is the only trait of the characters in this film as all of them ubeat each other about their vast range of literary expertise. Except for literatures of Miller’s Girl, it appears as if Nabokov is unknown to everyone of the characters. Had they known properly, they would know that they have adopted a cliché and have gotten stuck in it.

Jade Halley Bartlett’s debut feature is saturate with Southern gothic, which after the dreamy self-professed narrator of Jenna Ortega is so direct in codifying everything shocked her audience at the outset. “I am 18 and of no consequence at all,” Ortega’s character says rather inelegantly, but even a child trying hard to fit in her name, Cairo Sweet, suggests the other.

“I have my literature in my quiet moments.” Cairo is, as the name suggests, a rather rich spoilt 18-year-old who is living on her own at her family’s mansion in Tennessee. The parents are lawyers and they are supposedly always at work but traveling all over the globe.

All she could do was laze around with a best friend Winnie (a fun and witty Gideon Adlon) and come up with clever “thlas,” thinking, and smoking. She is such a delightful notion of a restless young lady, who looks and moves around in allured fashions with knee-highs and miniskirts twiddling between layers of a fog inside a wood, all bored and nauseated.

Cairo, however, is not the most sensible girl and for whatever reason (boredom, wishing to be care for by a dad or a combination of these) flirts with someone utterly boring, her creative writing teacher who is also dull, Jonathan Miller (Martin Freeman). You have seen it all when done this time; Young teacher/ the subject/ of a schoolgirl’s dreams.

But middle-aged Miller is definitely old enough to be her father. He is an ex-writer now a teacher, something his spouse Beatrice never lets him forget. Just a goose a little bit drunk all day in her silk costumes, dagmara dominczyk is hottest of the hottest and best playing a racy geisha, or atleast trying to be.

There’s something pinchy in the way she talks which is something beautiful and breathtaking Cairo shares as well. There initially is a spark between her and Jonathan with all the back and forth teasing going on, a feeling of something very wrong but which is attractive.

Each believes that the other one actually understands them, or at least that is what they think in order to explain themselves why they meet after classes or go off campus to spend some time together.

However, the quick bye sharp and precise high school wisecracks sharpers which made the likes of “Heathers” and “Thoroughbreds” entertaining becomes a drag in “Miller’s Girl”. This is more so when Jonanthan assigns Cairo a midterm about emulating her favorite author in a short story which will be a slap because it’s Henry Miller that she picks.

The context will quite often ask for both her doing her writing and him ‘performing’ the fictional text inside the sanctum of his room in turns, where both of them melodramatize her steamy, purple prose, waves of thrill traverse the concept of editing, while being unintentionally comical from the perspective of storytelling.

Still, Ortega is compelling enough to sustain our interest throughout the film and for good reason, even if the purpose of her character’s eventual arc feels utterly pointless and ultimately true. This is where this character has a lot of Wednesday Addams in her, girlish and yet wise, dessen ganzes leben in meiner § 13 mit sellektion.

Freeman relatively is a beefy guy in cardigans and slacks but as the relationship developed too much which sparked interest in the cliché love triangle involving Carolyn and David in `The hair salon’, sadly there’s barely anything cool about Lotus to the very first ‘looks like’.

One of the many that remain embedded in most of the characters on adjuvant therapy: the sematic model of chronic illness and recovery, is when Cairo uses crab meat to highlight how boring imitation crabs are over Jonathan. It’s one of those imagery that is very relatable.

And that’s what makes it most infuriating about “Miller’s Girl.” Among the ever-present grandiosity of it all, at least some parts are memorable, and there are also too few parts in where the content felt almost non-existent.

Other contributors, especially the comedian Bashir Sulahuddin who plays the role of Jonathan’s loyal friend and the ever-caring sports instructor, add some fun and surprises to this sorry pointless drivel. Good rubbish this could have been my mom used to say referring to Sidney Sheldon books, but this never comes anywhere close to wow that level of greatness.
