Promising Young Woman

A terrific performance by Mulligan who hauntingly portrays a deeply affected friend of a dead friend. The acts of revenge within the story are elevated to disturbing but sympathetic heights, exasperating the inevitability of getting even-Steven.

It is no surprise that Carey Mulligan received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her portrayal in “Promising Young Woman” of a troubled protagonist haunted by a traumatic past. This is what elevates the revenge drama to such a thrilling journey that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats throughout.

All round the most stunning, impactful, yet artistically and musically pleasing rendition of a very true and harsh reality. Everyone should see it. I'd watch it a thousand times.

This was a gutless waste of time. The issues it attempted to highlight, remained opaque and superfacially explored. It seemed illequiped and uninterested in the societal and systemic factors involved in these crimes or the impotence of the justice system. However-- not every film needs to serve the grand purpose of educating its audience. It could still call itself a cathartic revenge piece, if it could deliver on that. There is value to films that serve only to dole out fictional punishment to evil-doers and give the audience the primitively stimulating spectacle of seeing good triumph over evil in the most simplistic sense. This film cannot claim even that rudimentary purpose. I don't think anyone should watch this film. It does nothing but victimizes the audience like much torture-p*** in which you are subjected to lengthy seens of women being brutalized -- simultaneously sparing the male antagonist any graphic or dehumanizing treatment in return. It's a great shame that this film was made let alone is considered to be worthy of any acclaim. It was grotesque despite lacking gore, it was obscene despite being utterly spayed, it was gutless and embarrassing to know a woman created such a thing, let alone thought it should see the light of day.

Absolutely amazing film. Carey Mulligan is just spectacular in it.

A provocatively unsettling portrayal of power as presses down from society but also exudes nastily from our (as concerns this movie, men's) baser nature. Mulligan is on game as usual, the script and visual style are excellent, and there's an originality to that I haven't put my finger to yet. I felt the ending sort of lost its footing, but there is a schadenfreude-type satisfaction that some sort of justice has been done or that it's at least conceivable. The questions it raises with such merciless verve and dark humor lingers past the movie's credits: what is the relationship between power and love? Where do we go from here, as we reckon with the #MeToo movement? Do dudes just inhabit different varieties of despicability, as the movie, with possibly one or two exceptions, implies? Not an easy watch but probably an essential one, especially for us guys who take gender dynamics for granted.

A very enjoyable and unique movie with a fresh concept. While it might lose a bit of focus in the second half, it delivers a fantastic ending. Truly something we haven’t seen before

One of if not the best movie I've ever seen. Powerful and vengeful, it brought me to tears, rage, and filled me with joy. 'Promising Young Woman' fuels me to keep fighting the indisputable war on women. Incredible, incredible, incredible, I hope everyone in the world watches this.

I thought it was a good film, although at the beginning I wasn't sure but it kept me gripped right untill the end. Definitely worth a watch and just makes you think how many times this has happened and so many people have got away with it. Really well acted and some great twists and turns. Enjoy.

Excellent movie. Multiple plot twists with a truly unique story line.
