I am surprised it took this long to create a rape revenge film in the #metoo era. It has a darkly humorous take on the genre as it continually upends its conventions. My criticism? I love Detroiters, and it was hard to see Sam Richardson in this role. At least he got to wear a cool hat.

Mulligan really makes me uneasy in this role but I like it. I really fear I'd meet someone like her in real life who has a real axe to grind.

Given the film marketing and promotion materials my mind was on dark things from the outset. This tended to make the movie rather predictable and unremarkable. But it is a worthy watch none the less. (There's more to say, but that says what it must)

Tam 1 yıldır, büyük heyecan besleyerek beklediğim Promising Young Woman, çok büyük hayal kırıklığı çıktı. Yayınlanan ilk fragman tamamen aldatmaca, çünkü karşımıza çıkan hikaye ile yakından uzaktan alakası yok. Film kötü değil, bunu dile getireyim ama iyi olduğunu da söyleyemem.

This was pretty good, really enjoyed the acting and characters. The plot is... okay, nothing super special. I actually wanted it to take a couple more risks, but it was generally passable. There were some powerful sequences, but I think it does a good job of toeing the line without being too overt or preachy.

Fennell does some interesting directorial work and while the script itself is lively, it doesn't really tackle the subject matter as deeply as it could. But it's funny, full of tension, drama, etc. Mulligan put in a great performance; she had to do a lot of different things. Bo Burnham was a welcome addition, as always. On sociological grounds I have some issues with SOME of what this is saying (but not that rape is bad), but as a film it's fun and a little different than typical revenge flicks.
