A Promising Young Women Movie Review

SYNOPSIS

Everyone talks about Cassie (Carey Mulligan) as a very promising young woman ... until a mysterious event causes her future to derail from her plans. Yet nothing in Cassie's life is really what it appears to be, as the incredibly intelligent and tantalizingly crafty young woman everyone knows lives a secret life at night.

Haunted by a traumatic event in her past, Cassie begins to avenge what happened in a very particular way, making those men who cross her path pay it, with the intention of amending the mistakes of the past.

THE CRITIQUE OF SENSACINE

A promising young woman is a film that represents the #metoo movement, in a way quite different from how we have seen so far, for example, in the very poor Bombshell (2019) or in the much more interesting The Assistant (2019).

With five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, A young promising, of Emerald Fennell fits perfectly into an Oscar who wanted to seek committed rhyme with troubled times we live in: the economic depression, the manifestations of the ' Black Lives Matter 'or the use of the powers that be to condemn social movements, and a film that claimed the' Me Too 'could not be missing. It is almost a 'rape & revenge', yes, far from the land of exploitation cinema and adapting to a very indie staging, the kind that enchant at the Sundance Festival. Carey Mulligan

gives life to a woman on a crusade: avenge the death of her best friend, raped and humiliated at university, and to do this, she pretends to be drunk in bars and clubs as bait for the miserable predators who do not hesitate to take advantage of it circumstance ... to later reveal his true intentions (which I will not reveal here).

First feature film by actress Emerald Fennell -she is Camilla Parker Bowles in The Crown-, also the author of the script, who does not hesitate to bathe in genre cinema -suspense, terror, black comedy- to facilitate the digestion of, deep down, a certain terrible story.
