Promising Young Woman
Carey Mulligan takes revenge against the " Nice Guys " of the macrocosm in the dawdler for the forthcoming thriller , promise Young Woman . The cinema set the feature directing debut for actor - writer Emerald Fennell , following her stint as showrunner onKilling Eveseason 2 . And much like that serial , Fennell ’s new pic ( which she also spell ) follows the exploit of a blonde antiheroine who leads a twisted double - spirit . In this face , however , she ’s not trotting around the ball as an assassin , but dispensing penalisation to bad men who deserve it as an unconventional vigilance man of sort .
Mulligan stars inPromising Young Womanas Cassie , a womanhood who had a promising career onward of her until a secret event sent her future off the rails and led her down a very different way ( to put it mildly ) . The flick is slate toopen in theaters in mid - Aprilnext year , but will make its premiere at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival a few months ahead of then . As such , Focus Features has elected to get its official marketing up and run this week .

There ’s a noticeable amount of intersection betweenKilling Eveand thePromising unseasoned Womanfootage , as far as their sense of atmosphere and style goes . Cassie , like Villanelle fromKilling Eve , has an centre for colourful style and knows how to habituate her appearance to tempt her would - be assailants into a false sense of security department , only to flex around and expose them for who they really are . The trailer to a great extent imply her calling was jump when she was sexually assaulted during her time in medical school , only for her classmateslike Madison ( Alison Brie)and Dean Walker ( Connie Britton ) to express doubt about her claims and reject to punish the individual responsible , lest they have to deal with the backfire . The moving-picture show ’s synopsis teases an"unexpected encounter"gives Cassie a prospect to"right the legal injury of the past " , though it remains to be envision just what that is .
fib involve sexual violation and revenge are inherently at risk of coming off as exploitive or imposter - empowering , butPromising Young Womanappears to take a fairly subversive and clever approach to the sub - genre . The drone suggests it not only has something to say about the lie that is the " Nice Guy " , but also how women can be complicit in covering up sexual assault by deny to take the victims ' title seriously or dissolve them when it does n’t assist their own interests ( not to note , the psychological effects that has on the victim ) . With Sundance just around the corner , it wo n’t be long before the early reviews get in and paint a unclouded picture of what to expect - goodorbad - fromPromising Young Woman .
