Did I ever wish I could erase the memory of my past significant others? No—not now. But did I once? Absolutely. After my first long-term relationship ended, I was undone. The heartbreak was relentless, stretching across months, suffocating every part of me. I drowned the ache in drugs and alcohol, blurred the sharp edges of loss with substances and distractions. I cried nearly every day. I couldn't eat. I lost a significant amount of weight, and with it, I lost…

There have been many times in my life when I didn’t want to live. Times when I came close to making that final decision. Looking back now, I’m thankful that I didn’t succeed—not because I triumphed through strength or resilience in those moments, but simply because I didn’t. I used to think of that as another failure.

Despite some visually appealing cinematography, the film ultimately falls short. Miller's Girl appears to strive for a steamy and provocative atmosphere but comes across as absurd and contrived. It almost parodies the student-teacher romance genre, rendering it tedious…
