Review of Promising Young Woman (2020) by Filmanwalt — 18 Feb 2022
Right off the bat you don't need to say much more except: CAREY MULLIGAN!
It's unbelievable how changeable, multifaceted and just really strong acting Carey Mulligan in Promising Young Woman. A performance that can only be overwhelmed with superlatives. A big movie theater.
Short story snippet: Driven by a trauma from her past student days, the protagonist Cassie now leads a very extreme and also vengeful night life.
The film itself is dramaturgically very well structured and staged and has cool remixes of well-known music in it. In between it has its lengths, but ends in a very strong finale. A really well done thriller worth seeing.
4/5 bars.
