Bartlett was impressed by how Jenna Ortega excelled in a scene where her character makes a decision, along with Cairo, the scene includes another character Winnie Black. Despite the nonsequential filming of Miller’s Girl, Jenna Ortega easily made choices and remained consistent throughout the film. According to Y! Entertainment, the director said:

“It’s very easy to take Cairo and make her really melodramatic because the language is so heightened. But Jenna made it feel very natural… And I think it’s very sad. I think it’s devastating. I think she’s also terrifying, without any spoilers. There’s the scene with her and Winnie where they’re passing a bottle back and forth, and there’s a photograph, and you watch her make a decision.”

Jade Halley Bartlett while explaining that the film will also depict the darkest sides of the characters, she still didn’t label Ortega’s Cairo as a villain but an antagonist. The actress brought life to the young writer in a very natural way. Apart from Ortega and Emmy-winning star Martin Freeman, other actors who played supporting roles are Gideon Adlon, Bashir Salahuddin, Dagmara Domińczyk, and Christine Adams.
