The reality portrayed in this movie is ghastly yet so common. It's not like we're not seeing threats everytime we walk down med school's hall. Watching this movie after devastating news of a supposed -to-be-a-doctor-figure(not to mention he was an anesthesiologist, just like "Al Monroe"- nothing against anesthesiologists, though) raping a woman during her baby's delivery, in the surgery center, made me feel so terrible and impotent. It's needless to say "Promising Young Woman" is non-fictional. Okay. Maybe the very, very, very end is: most women don't have that chance. This script is so brilliantly well written. Emerald Fennel really brought some deep, uncomfortable and sick reality to the viewers. Once in a blue moon, you gotta be actually glad at the Academy Awards. The choice for the main role was a complete check. Carey Mulligan made Cassie so relatable and consistent, it's clear she believed in all of her character's ideals. Not to mention some of the "fearful" comments about her face not meeting with her age -plus, "An Education 's Jenny" to think about on that aspect? how ingenious would that be!. Moreover, the color palette works amazingly with the story and emotions Fennel and Mulligan want us to catch. I know pretty much nothing about movie reviews, but this one is a must-watch. Weirdly enough,- or maybe this is only me being too naive(still) in my 20's- there's much to be "taught" to society over the topics of respect and empathy. As Cassie says: "Look how easy it was. I guess you just need to think about it in the right way. I guess it feels different when it's someone you love". If only we'd look inside ourselves the right way. The movie does "break" us a little, bu it is worth it.
