The feature debut of actor turned writer/director Jade Halley Bartlett, Miller's Girl stars
Jenna Ortega as a student whose talent for writing attracts the
attention of her teacher (Martin Freeman). The first trailer and
synopsis keeps things ambiguous but it seems Ortega's character is either
seduced by Freeman or attempts to destroy him by lying about such a
thing.
The film also stars Dagmara Domińczyk, Bashir Salahuddin and
Gideon Adlon.
Miller's Girl is in US cinemas from January 26th. A UK/ROI
release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
A talented young writer (Jenna Ortega) embarks on a creative odyssey when her teacher (Martin Freeman) assigns a project that entangles them both in an increasingly complex web. As lines blur and their lives intertwine, professor and protégé must confront their darkest selves while straining to preserve their individual sense of purpose and the things they hold most dear.
