Promising Young Woman
When a tragic event befalls Nina, a childhood friend & fellow med student, Cassie (Carey Mulligan) becomes a single-minded sociopath on a mission of revenge. By day, she is a coffee shop worker/med school dropout living at home with her parents. At night, she trolls the bars looking for “nice” guys who are hoping to take advantage of drunk girls. She is one smart cookie who will dispense those hard lessons no one wants to learn so don’t get on her bad side. Mulligan is amazing as a one-woman vigilante squad in this deliciously dark & wicked black comedy/quasi-thriller. This one may not be suitable for everyone’s tastes, but it is intriguing & may take some twists that you may not see coming.
Alien gives it 3½ “Love, Nina & Cassie ; )” stars out of 4.
