Film review: Promising young woman
This might just be the first film I've watched that has pushed my own limits of dark comedy. Definitely not one for beginners, and not one to watch with the family. That being said, if you're feeling brave enough and feel like seeing real revenge play out that echoes the very real realities of the world we live in, then dive right in. But don't say I didn't warn you. Memorable, with some carefully understated roles from the likes of Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Molly Shannon, Alison Brie, Laverne Cox, Clancy Brown and Alfred Molina - all quietly tiptoeing over the literal and very real darkness that goes on but doesn't get mentioned with any real action being taken. Carey Mulligan, fifteen years after her film debut as Kitty Bennett is in the starring role here as Cassandra Thomas. And like another recently Margot Robbie produced film, Ms Mulligan is portraying a one woman powerhouse on a mission with more wit and guile than most other revenge flicks put toge
