TW: SA, trauma. spoilers galore!
follow us on letterboxd! @madelineaford & @maalvika
in this episode, we take a deep dive into Promising Young Woman (2020), Emerald Fennell’s sharp, unsettling thriller that redefines the revenge genre. with a powerhouse performance by Carey Mulligan, the film tackles complex themes of justice, accountability, and the illusions of safety.
we go scene-by-scene, breaking down the film’s striking storytelling, unforgettable characters, and razor-sharp dialogue while analyzing the choices that make it so unique. whether you’ve seen the movie or not, this episode is designed to be immersive -- if you’d rather watch first and return later, we totally get it. and if the film’s subject matter is too triggering for you to watch, that’s completely understandable too! think of this as your guided experience through one of the most talked-about films in recent years.
Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Mulligan), and Best Director (Fennell), Promising Young Woman took home the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, cementing Fennell as a director to watch in Hollywood.
