Miller's girl is not for the faint of heart nor faint of mind. You have to see beyond the eroticism and pornographic mentality and think of the plot as an emotion, a sense. Two souls, lost and confused about who they truly are at the core of themselves, connect through the love of writing and reading. Words intertwined in an inappropriate student-teacher relationship. Words have a way of passing through fears and delusions. Words can trigger thought and bring upon the truths that were buried deep down. Cairo in Miller's Girl (Jenna Ortega) acts like a morality entity that philosophically asks big questions through her erotic nature and writing. Navigating through subject matters of youth embarking on the journey into adulthood and adulthood navigating the rediscovery of youth. In a passion hidden through sexual innuendos, this movie acts like a blanket of self-discovery. A sort of wardrobe like Narnia, if you dare to open a mysterious door, what will you find? If you dare go through crossing a line, even if emotionally yet not physically, what could happen? What happens when words attract, when a short story brings a truth of two strangers who stumble upon passion? This movie is more than just a student and a teacher attracted for pleasure; it's two brilliant, growing hearts yearning for understanding and vulnerability through said understanding of similar passion.
