Episode 45 - Promising Young Woman

from Movie Night with John and Sean · host Movie Night with John and Sean

TW! For episode 45 the boys are back in the studio to review an uncompromising and bold directorial debut from Emerald Fennell, Promising Young Woman. Although deeply cast, well acted and thoroughly original, this was still a challenging film to review; one that forced a broader and more uncomfortable conversation about rape, violence against women and the greater complicity that allows these assaults to happen and continue. Along the way we talk about the theatrical experience in the time of Covid, the decline of the movie theater business and the recent surprise fortune for AMC's stock value. SO! All easy topics tonight. In all seriousness, I'm really glad we did this and think this may be an even more impactful film than I might have originally given it credit for. Carrey Mulligan is excellent. Bo Burnham delivers. The ensemble is wide and effective. Promising Young Woman is devastating but worth the watch. Trigger Warning: this movie depicts sexual assault, violence against women and frequent abuse.
