The casting of every man in this movie is just staggeringly brilliant
Patrick WillemsDec 26, 2020the outer layer is a bright candy coated shell, but peeling that back reveals the inside as hollow. i don’t have negative feelings about the ending (or the film as a whole) the way some do, actually i enjoyed it until it was almost over. but then the bad taste it left…

I think he did it but I just can’t prove it
ashDec 27, 2020girlbossing sexual assault in this way is my joker moment and I'm not even kidding. had a very in depth conversation with friends after this so I don't feel like putting it into words here but this was very frustrating.
StephanieDec 27, 2020tw // sexual assault, death i’m furious at the idea that a movie that was set out to empower victims really just implied that the most powerful thing that woman could have done is died. it makes me sick to my stomach. the film is triggering and the marketing is extremely…

jokette: we live in a patriarchal society
KYKMar 22, 2021my only take is that Crazy Stupid Love would be an incredibly short movie if Ryan Gosling had encountered Carey Mulligan at the bar instead of Emma Stone

perfect depiction of female rage. no matter how angry we are or what we do no one cares and no one will help us
Skye lovedPromising Young Womani love this movie. The realness is so powerful and the ending is such a significant part of how real these events are. It’s happens everyday to multiple women and by anyone, and most times the abusers get away with it.
nic lovedPromising Young Woman“It’s every guy’s worst nightmare getting accused like that” “Can you guess what every woman’s worst nightmare is?” WOW

This was truly a fist in the gut to watch! I loved everything other than the fact that she had to die to get revenge, but in some way I know it was a key part the ending which I loved. I guess I just still wanted Al to be the only one suffering. Every boy should watch this movie!
Ani N. lovedPromising Young WomanOne of my favorite movies, slow burning but intense and just when there’s a glimmer of hope…it punches you in the gut. Nothing is as it seems from beginning to end. I love the music score, especially in “the scene”. Mulligan is outstanding.
Lucia lovedPromising Young WomanI really loved this film. My jaw absolutely dropped when Ryan turned out to be one of the bad ones. The message of this film is so clear and so upsetting. While the film had a very sad undertone, it managed to make me laugh so many times (sadly mostly due to Ryan😒)

Promising Young Woman is a deliciously dark and wonderful combo of style, substance and artfully utilized pop jams.

Promising Young Woman is a dark tale of revenge, shot through with black comedy. At every turn, it’s almost too much. As is the performance by Carey Mulligan. Except that performance turns out to be just right. It’s a no-holds-barred wonder, easily one of the best of the year.
