The first Sky original that isn't terrible?

 

Promising Young Woman (2020)


Written & directed by Emerald Fennell this film stars Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Bried and Laverne Cox. A young woman seeks revenge on those involved in the rape and suicide of her best friend.


I really enjoyed a lot of this dark comedy, it tackles the feminist themes in a really blunt way that challenge the viewer. There are just a couple of moments that are too predictable or where I wish we had had a bit more time to explore some of the characters, give a little more depth to their actions. It is really nit picking but there are also a couple of moments where the film looks a little cheaply made which is a real shame as this film deserves to have had all the budget thrown at it.


4/5
