Promising Young Woman
15
Everyone said Cassie (Carey Mulligan) was a promising young woman...until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future. But nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be: she’s wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she’s living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs of the past in this thrilling and wildly entertaining story.
Showing as part of ongoing Philosophy & Film strand, the film has been selected by philosopher Dr Alba Curry (University of Leeds) who will give a short talk after the film exploring some of its many themes.
Details
“A ferocious lead turn by Carey Mulligan super-charges this shocking, outspoken debut that pulls none of its punches.”
Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
“An ambitious, original and surprisingly emotional calling card from Emerald Fennell, with a ferociously great Carey Mulligan performance and a theme that couldn't belong more to this cultural moment.”
Sophie Monks, Kaufman, Empire
“Emerald Fennell’s first feature film spills over with confidence - and Carey Mulligan’s Cassie is like no heroine we’ve seen before.”
Charlotte O'Sullivan, The Standard
“I was on the edge of my seat for this, and so much else. The promise of fear is fulfilled.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
