A Promising Young Woman

I absolutely loved Carey Mulligan’s performance and the cunning production in A Promising Young Woman. Mulligan plays medical school dropout Cassie, a mysterious and wicked “heroine” who leads a double life. Frequenting nightclubs and bars, she appears to have a twisted “hobby” of appearing to be alone, drunk and vulnerable, luring men to prey on her and abandon their own moral code.

The reasons behind her actions and insatiable vendetta are slowly unearthed as a traumatic story. The derailment of her promising future is revealed, condemning not just one man, but an entire system that has long protected criminals over their accusers. Incredibly thought-provoking for both men and women, this movie is wickedly empowering and bold. One for the big screen if you get a chance!
