Ortega’s Latest Film Is Finding An Audience on Netflix
Jenna Ortega’s latest movie Miller’s Girl made its debut on Netflix on April 26, along with some controversy.
An R-rated psychological drama that examines an inappropriate relationship between an 18-year-old student (Ortega) and her much older teacher (Martin Freeman), Miller’s Girl has drawn attention because of the age gap between the characters and the film’s provocative subject matter.
Freeman discussed the controversy in a recent interview with The Times of London, calling Miller’s Girl "grown-up and nuanced” while noting, “It's not saying, 'Isn't this great?'"
Ortega will next star in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, director Tim Burton’s long-awaited sequel to the 1988 supernatural comedy classic Beetlejuice, starring Michael Keaton in the title role.
Ortega stars as Astrid Deetz, the daughter of Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder), who was a key character in the original film. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will open in theaters on September 6.
Ortega — whose other film credits include Scream and Scream VI — is currently at work Wednesday Season 2, which is expected to make its streaming debut on Netflix in 2025.
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall is making its worldwide premiere in the Tribeca Film Festival’s Spotlight Narrative category. The festival runs in New York City June 5-16.
