Carey Mulligan stars in the indie character drama Promising Young Woman. Traumatized by the death of her best friend who was raped, Cassandra becomes a vigilante; seeking out those responsible and preying on potential rapists. Mulligan gives a strong performance, and is backed by an impressive supporting cast that includes Alison Brie, Adam Brody, Clancy Brown, and Connie Britton. However, the script is a little weak and the character is a bit too enigmatic. Still, the ruses and punishments that she deals out are rather clever. And director Emerald Fennell has a rather raw and evocative style that heightens the material. It has its problems, but Promising Young Woman is an incredibly provocative and compelling film.
