This flick sure is... something. This pulpy new student-teacher drama is trashy in all the best ways.

We unpack all of this and more as we discuss Miller's Girl (2024).
"I don't think you're a spider, you're a moth. Quiet, harmless, drawn to shiny things, banging up against a window, and begging to get in."
