Cassie (Carey Mulligan) is turning thirty, perpetually single and out every night. Masking her grief through casual encounters and late-night liaisons, her desire to meet the right man has nothing to do with dating.
Some might frame
Promising Young Woman as a feminist revenge thriller designed to leave a bitter after taste. Others might claim it to be a visual diatribe on female empowerment, toxic masculinity and the impersonal nature of relationships. Then there will be those commentators who are enraptured by Cary Mulligan’ Cassandra. A hot mess of vengeance, driven by trauma and ultimately tragic in the Greek sense.
