A Promising Young Woman (2020)

After calling out star Carey Mulligan for shameless Oscar politicking a few weeks ago, I finally get to see this polemical nice-guy destroying debut from British director Emerald Fennel and it didn't disappoint. An incredibly relevant and wildly ambitious, risk-taking destruction of the excuses around rape-culture, entirely focused on a probable and deserving Oscar winning performance from Mulligan. Amazing and essential film making that leaves no prisoners. And though I stand with the critic who Carey destroyed, he was wrong about Margot Robbie being a more natural fit to this role.
