Due to its industrial fringe-position, exploitation cinema holds a precarious potential to cut through (some) BS & address difficult topics in a more direct confrontational way. Attempting to bring something like this into the acceptable mainstream seems to engage a curious struggle within its own premise. The fact that this is a well crafted entertaining movie very aware of the issue does little to quell the feeling that it's afraid of its own ideas & adds little to what's already out there.

1 intikam hikayesi. Erkeklerin kötü karakterlerinden nefret eden Carey Mulligan, intikam almak için değişik oyunlarla herkesi kandırır. Sinsi ilerleyen film, Carey Mulligan'ın oyunculuğuyla izletiyor. Geçmiş ile gelecekte olan olaylardan hesabını sormuş. Filmin sonunda, hayatına mal oluyor. Ve yaptığın şeyin zehirli olduğunu bilsem de seviyorum.

Besides the fact that every woman has been sexually assaulted or harassed in some way and has to jump through hoops living in fear nonstop every day trying to avoid it, this is easily the best film I've seen in a while. This is a relatable story that needed to be told. The casting department deserves a round of applause. And hats off for the soundtrack choices.

My main gripe with the movie is the way it nearly downplays its heavy core themes by fictionalizing and attaching them to a overdrawn revenge plot that would have been more impactful and thought provoking if it ended 5 minutes earlier.

V/SFX Cohesion could have been better. Either you have a narrative, or you don't have a narrative. The twists and turns are great though and it could have ended well as a dissonant tragedy

An efficient but also sort-of pedestrian script gets lifted (and then some) by some great lead performances, beautiful cinematography and solid direction. So as a revenge genre movie it's great, but besides that it ends up being more of a cautionary tale for insufferable bro-dudes than offer anything profound for their victims.

Should've showed some larger fangs by way of a no-holds-barred, blood soaked finale, at least that's what both the movie and its main character would've deserved. Imagine an A24 film that pussies out at the end and settles for Netlfix mediocrity. I'll take Coralie Fargeat's Revenge over this.

56 years after Repulsion we finally get a female's fantasy version of a broken woman taking it out on the world. Every male but dad is a devil but that's the point right? ...this isnt a movie about decent guys right? It knows that right?

I finally saw this- as expected, there were things I liked & things I didn't, but overall it was a damn good watch. This is a movie that makes you feel things- good things, bad things, lots of things. The cast is stellar, with everybody from Mulligan to Burnham to Brie to Coolidge giving great performances, & there are some incredible visuals. The story is tight, engaging, &- crucially- believable. Personally, though, the ending was a touch hokey for me- not that it ruins everything else.

I'm torn. PYW does a lot very right - the moral ambiguity, the refusal to take an easy way out, the perfect casting of the kindest sitcom actors as the worst sort of assholes, its willingness to be blunt when it needs to be, and of course the fantastic Carey Mulligan. But there are things in it that don't seem consistent - the way it asks us to look closely at some bits but not at others (what happens behind all those lines? Who cares), and the cheap ending.

Really well acted, directed and made movie. Visually superb throughout. I just don't like the story being told here and as a result I don't think I can sit through it again as it left me feeling pretty depressed. Probably one of the few movies I should have tried to learn more about before I watched it as it may have braced me for what was to follow.

Good cinematography and soundtrack, but the story was paper thin. Carey Mulligan was wonderful as usual, but the script is very blunt and left me rolling my eyes more times than I can count. This movie belongs in the 2010-2015 era before the whole #MeToo narrative fell apart at the seams.

Promising Young Woman is a bit one-note and its agenda is both blunt and readily apparent at every interval. However, the problem with the film lies in its wavering delivery of this agenda and the lack of fulfilling action given its pulsating like Giallo style choices. It titillates and teases the viewer with the allure of vengeful violence, but never delivers. It ends in a fashion fit for a teen melodrama on Netflix with the protagonist only receiving vindication off screen.

Thin on story logic but complex in theme and tone; a difficult achievement for this director. I do wish the script were refined even more, so that characters such as Burnham's could pursue Mulligan's without it testing plausibility. Or define more an end pursuit in the initial status quo for the protagonist (why is she marking down each "lesson taught" and how many would be enough? Or does she truly view her life as purgatory?) An above average moral satire too shallow for greatness.

While I don't think it does enough to examine the lingering and rippling effects of acute trauma, it's still a very intriguing story. Mulligan is phenomenal.
