Cassie, played by Carey Mulligan, is a 30 year old medical school drop out on a mission, leading a secret double life, pretending to be drunk in night clubs and then turning the tables on men who offer a lift home…or more.  It’s a provocative and ingenious revenge satire, with twists and turns as the story progresses, written and directed by Emerald Fennell (who was in “Call the Midwife” and played Camilla in “The Crown” before moving onto writing Killing Eve).  This is her first film for which she won both the Oscar and BAFTA for best original screenplay.
 
“Promising Young Woman” is a smart, provocative, dark comedy and revenge movie with an astonishingly powerful, deeply layered performance by Carey Mulligan……Fennell delivers a sensational first feature film with this well-crafted, bold, visually stunning and emotionally resonant gem.” Chicago Times
