Promising Young Woman has had a whole extra year to tease out audience expectations fuelled by a haunting trailer that presents Cassie (Carey Mulligan) turning the tables on would-be male sexual predators to the sound of screeching strings. Initially slated for release in UK cinemas in April 2020, the pandemic saw it pushed back and back. Now it arrives on Sky Cinema with two Baftas in hand but also criticisms about underwhelming feminist credentials biting at its rear. To recap the story: Cassie, a once promising young medical student, is now pushing 30 and living at home with her parents. Her purpose comes from a nightly ritual of pretending to be drunk in order to lure male would-be predators. The story arc is set in motion by a former classmate Ryan (Bo Burnham) appearing in the guise of a romantic suitor. Their budding relationship is interrupted by Cassie’s more targeted vengeance plans that hook into the cause of her derailment: the mysterious tragedy of her childhood BFF Nina.
