REVIEW: Promising Young Woman is a wildly thrilling revenge story, taking an unflinching look at rape culture, but errs more pessimistic than triumphant. In this movie, Carey Mulligan gives a masterful, Oscar-worthy performance as Cassie Thomas, a 29-year-old-turning-30 medical school drop out who works in a coffee shop with her friend Gail (Laverne Cox) by day. At night, Cassie goes out to local clubs and pretends to be so drunk she can't walk. When, inevitably, a nice guy offers to see her home safely, only to take her back to their place and try to have sex with her despite her outward inebriated state, she drops the act. As the movie goes on, Cassie's reasons for her double life and why she dropped out of med school become clear. When old classmate Ryan (Bo Burnham) comes into the coffee shop one day and asks Cassie out, she's presented with the opportunity to finally get revenge on the people who derailed her life.

Rating: 3.5\5
