- Jenna Ortega's controversial movie is now available to watch on Prime Video
The film explores a student-teacher relationship.
Jenna Ortega's latest movie is now available to watch at home.
Miller's Girl has been added to streaming service Prime Video UK and is free to watch for new and existing Prime members.
The Wednesday actor stars alongside Martin Freeman in the thriller, which sees the two play a student-teacher duo who begin a relationship.
The movie proved controversial during its release in January this year for the 31-year age gap between the two actors who share intimate scenes in the film.

"A talented young writer embarks on a creative odyssey when her teacher Jonathan Miller assigns a project that entangles them both in an increasingly complex web," reads the film's official synopsis.
"As lines blur and their lives intertwine, professor and protégé must confront their darkest selves while straining to preserve their individual sense of purpose and the things they hold most dear."
Freeman defended the movie in an interview with The Times in April, calling the story "grown-up and nuanced".
"It’s not saying, 'Isn’t this great'," he said, explaining that he believes stories dealing with delicate subject matters can sometimes be tainted by association.
"Are we gonna have a go at Liam Neeson for being in a film about the Holocaust?"

Miller's Girl writer and director Jade Halley Bartlett also publicly confirmed that the film's cast worked closely with intimacy coordinator Kristina Arjona to help choreograph the sex scenes.
"There was many, many people throughout the process, engaging with [Jenna] to make sure that it was consistent with what she was comfortable with, and she was very determined and very sure of what she wanted to do," Arjona told the Daily Mail.
Miller's Girl was not so warmly received by critics, but the central performances by Ortega and Freeman were praised. The film currently has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 29%.
Miller's Girl is available to watch now on Prime Video UK and Netflix US.
