I suspect the bad reviews for Miller's Girl are likely from the demographic who would enjoy her more so in something like Wednesday or Scream, because the beauty of the movie is likely to sail right passed them. This is not a movie for people who haven't developed a few scars in life, a few layers of burnt skin from navigating too close to those certain open fires that draw us to them. And I don't mean from messy teen breakups or mean girls that gossip in shopping malls.
Miller's Girl hurts, if you are one of those old enough to have accumulated a few years of this thing called living. It's for those who are pushing middle age, or passed that. For those who know that life is not unlike a thorny rose bush, bloomed with some of most amazing roses you can ever expect, and ready to bite you when you try to acquire one.
Well, enough of the dreamy soliloquy. Let me just say it like this...Miller's Girl is a well presented story that has been told before, but a story that never loses its sting. Any male teacher who has spent a few yeas toiling in a high school classroom will recognize that sting, and some may even bear wounds from it.
Well acted, well directed, and well put together, Miller's Girl definitely delivers its intended punch. Recommended, just be wary if you've been down that road and are still limping from the experience...
