PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN - Official Trailer [HD] - This Christmas

Every now and then, a film comes along that jolts us awake. #PromisingYoungWoman is in theaters this Christmas. 💋

From visionary director Emerald Fennell (Killing Eve) comes a delicious new take on revenge. Everyone said Cassie (Carey Mulligan) was a promising young woman... until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future. But nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be: she’s wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she’s living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs of the past in this thrilling and wildly entertaining story.

A film about rape without mentioning the word rape itself or any nude scene. I love it

Cool fact: Carey Mulligan’s character is named Cassandra, who in Greek mythology was a woman gifted with divine powers to foretell the future but was cursed to never be believed.

This happened to me when I had just turned 20. I dropped out of college, stepped off my career path, was scared to go outside or dress in anything other than t-shirt and jeans. It ruined my life for 12 years. After years of intense therapy, I’m now fully healed and creating the life I want for the first time in a decade and a half. No more fear or resentment, just a feeling of quiet power and desire to do good in this world.

"Can you guess what every woman's worst nightmare is?"


Succinct.

Men mad at this movie like we haven’t seen violence against women portrayed in every film genre, music, art etc for our whole lives.

"The title is a reference to Brock Turner, a Stanford University student who was convicted of sexual assault in 2016. Despite his conviction, he was referred to by some as a "Promising Young Man."

The scene with Dean Walker, that right there had my blood boiling. When it was time to talk about Nina, she couldn’t care less and swept it under the carpet, when she thought it was happening to her daughter, all hell broke loose. Amazing film. It’s just upsetting to know that it happens in real life.

[efanatics]

this movie was very powerful... i see many men bitching about how men are portrayed in this movie but as a man i have to say the men who complained about that are the same men you see in this movie..

[mattlibra]

The aesthetic of this movie is so wicked, pastels and neons, bathed in a darker and horrifying truth, it’s absolutely amazing

[mayamig]

This toxic violin kinda gives me an impression how gaslighted and furious Britney must feel inside....

[Lucky_]

Those who say this film portrays all men in negative light conveniently forgot the lawyer who was forgiven and ended up helping Cassie. Or the harmless father.

[loveabove]

The amount of people insulting her age/calling her crazy and letting the title fly right over their heads is hilarious. She was a promising young woman until she had to drop out. And this movie genre is a “thriller”

[margaritam.]

“Who needs brains, they never did a girl any good”, her other character, Daisy, in The Great Gatsby says the line “That’s the best thing a girl in this world can be, a beautiful little fool”.

[markmutedvideos]

THIS HAS JUST BEEN NOMINATED FOR OSCAR'S BEST PICTURE OMG DESERVEDDDD

[Teddyluvsbrick]

I'm honestly glad she was able to get revenge not just for Nina, but for herself as well.

There's a difference between a nice guy and a good man

[harrietsrhapsody]

This film is sheer genius. What’s so great about Emerald Fennell is that she isn’t afraid to go to the places everyone else is afraid to go creatively. This is the greatest example of that, but you can see it so clearly in the episodes of Killing Eve that she wrote as well. She’s an incredible talent, I can’t wait to see the new projects she’s working on.

I've experienced the "nice guy" before he listened to my problems made me feel like I was safe and then as soon as I was vulnerable (not sober) he took advantage and did what he wanted. Just because they don't grab you and push you to the floor aggressively straight away doesn't mean anything. The men who plan and gain your trust are worse in my opinion. The worse part is they actually believe that being nice gives them some kind of entitlement to our bodies, I've had remarks like "I bought you food" and apparently that automatically means they deserve sex. It's truly disgusting how a lot of mens minds work, you should not be praised for not touching a woman without consent, it's just being a decent human. You do not deserve praise or a thank you for not assaulting someone or for stopping an assault, you see someone who's vulnerable then be a decent human being and protect them without any expectation of a reward or a thank you. Being drunk, wearing revealing clothing or even flirting is not an invitation or concent to anything. It's not the woman's fault that men can't keep it in there pants. I see plenty of men walking around shirtless my first thought is not he clearly wants to get fucked, I don't even take a second look. Why is it okay for men to reveal their bodies or to flirt with no expectation of anything but when a woman does "she's asking for it".
