Promsing Young Woman

 


Carey Mulligan stars as Cassandra, a medical school dropout who is working in a coffee shop who spends her evenings at bars pretending she is extremely drunk so men pick her up to see what they will do; a kind of date-rape vigilante. How did Cassandra get to this place? We find out over the course of the movie. I Spit on Your Grave has been turned into I Spit into Your Coffee. This #MeToo drama is dark and gives us the perspective we need when boys behave criminally when it comes to sexual assault, where the victims are blamed for making bad choices. Promising Young Woman is a cut above most revenge dramas because it carries extra emotional depth, thanks largely to Carey Mulligan's great performance. Catch this on streaming services.
