"Miller's Girl" was a good film that I didn't have much complains about. Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman worked out very well in the film, the duo performing their characters didn't disappoint, everything felt organic and real. I did also like a lot how the two main heroes were so much connected, and the problem of "student and teacher love relationships" was showed on the highest shelf. Jenna Ortega as Cairo Sweet did deliver many good qualities, she was good at giving her character a dark tone and she did also show greatly the fantasies of a girl teen. Jonathan Miller performed by Martin Freeman as the teacher that falls in love with the student, was convincing enough. I have seen Freeman in better roles but I didn't really argue too much about it. He delivered what he needed to deliver, and I liked his development. The story was a good version of the Plot Summary on IMDb, just in a longer version. The story works very well until the ending comes. And yeah, then it comes. Did I watch the first part, and have to wait for a sequel, or this is it? Because after so many dramas, dilemmas and new courses of action, the ending came. And I obviously didn't expect it to be so short. It's rare that I say movies are to short, and this one is probably one of my rarest exceptions. So to say things short, I was just very confused. Yet many elements of this film were good to make the runtime acceptable. The camera work, as well as the scenography with beautiful landscapes and plants, did work. The camera angles and montages were nicely composed. The dialogues and script was surprisingly very original, yet sometimes they tried to hard to make it like poetry. Sometimes it failed, sometimes it fitted the scene. The music was ok, I guess, nothing I noticed in particular. I don't think it's much left to talk about. Ok film, I think it has mostly good sides, but it shouldn't have ended so fast.
