Promising Young Woman
113 Minutes, Rated R
Written and directed by Emerald Fennell
Synopsis:
Everyone said Cassie (Carey Mulligan) was a promising young woman… until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future. But nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be: she’s wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she’s living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs of the past in this thrilling and wildly entertaining story.
This was another Sundance film that Ryan got to see, but that I had to wait for.
Carey Mulligan is incredible as Cassie.
That’s all I want to say at this point.
And here’s your out-of-context quotes:
- “It does sound like a Lifetime revenge movie, doesn’t it?”
- “It’s like X-adjacent.”
- “Maybe his character isn’t as self-aware or… I don’t know…”
- “It is a genre film…”
- “I went into this film completely blind…”
