Despite its potential and strong performances by Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman, “Miller’s Girl” struggles with pacing and a lack of depth in its narrative. The film presents an intriguing setup with its character dynamics and psychological elements, but it ultimately falls short in delivering a consistently engaging and meaningful story. The portrayal of complex relationships and moral ambiguities offers some thought-provoking moments, yet the overall execution does not fully capitalize on its thematic ambitions.
