Promising Young Woman (2020)

A young woman who works at a cafe during the day, spends her free time tempting men who take advantage of weaker prey to teach them a lesson.

'Promising Young Woman' is a thriller. It often changes its tune and tone, twisting the viewer's expectations on all possible faces. After experiencing the entire final product, all the pieces come perfectly  together and find their goal and double meaning. Life is unfair and that's what the movie shows. The finale or rather the end before the final scene is the "spiritual finale", the scene added after (no spoilers) being there only to avoid any eventual protests about logic (which are not necessarily justifiable). Carey Mulligan is, as usual, excellent, her multifaceted talent not surprising anyone anymore. 

Director:  Emerald Fennell   
With: Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, Clancy Brown, Adam Brody, Jennifer Coolidge
