Promising Young Woman

It's as if the movie wants to provide the audience with the satisfaction of a successful revenge plot while robbing its main character of everything the quest for vengeance was meant to give her in the first place...

In filmmaker Emerald Fennell's diabolically funny takedown of toxic masculinity, Carey Mulligan gives a dynamite performance that should make her a frontrunner in the Oscar race for Best Actress.

Manipulative and nihilistic, it forces a ruthlessly honest performance from Carey Mulligan to play along with its provocative, booby-trapped plot that comes riddled with "gotcha" moments.

This is lip-gloss misanthropy packaged as feminist manifesto, clever but not smart, cynical without being perceptive or particularly passionate. Women are angry for good reason. They also deserve better movies than this one.

A smart, provocative, pitch-black dark comedy and revenge movie with an astonishingly powerful, deeply layered performance by Carey Mulligan as Cassie...

Promising Young Woman is more profoundly a devastating reflection of a woman consumed with grief.

Promising Young Woman goes beyond interrogating dating culture to devastatingly compare the value of women's and men's lives.

Smart, original, unhinged, furious, darkly funny, entertaining, and unmissable.

Although the story deftly and cleverly swings between dark comedy and thriller with moral overtones, Fennell doesn't maintain the rhythms of her film. [Full review in Spanish]

Despite the fact that I don't like Carey Mulligan at all, Promising Young Woman is a good movie with a pretty clear message & lots of very good comedic points that make it very entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]
