Promising Young Woman Dir. Emerald Fennell, 2020, UK/USA, 1 hour & 53 minutes Cast: Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie
Promising Young Woman is a bold, genre-defying thriller that flips the revenge narrative on its head. Carey Mulligan delivers a stunning performance as Cassie, a brilliant but haunted woman leading a secret double life—luring predatory men into traps as part of a chilling mission for justice. With razor-sharp writing, striking visuals and a potent mixture of dark humour and emotional intensity, Promising Young Woman is a compelling exploration of trauma, accountability and female rage.
