Promising Young Woman Is a Brutal, Dark and Sometimes Funny Dose of Vengeance The lastest from writer-director Emerald Fennell opens Christmas Day at the Belcourt Tweet Share From the moment I first saw The Bride seek bloody vengeance against the cult of assassins who betrayed her in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, Uma Thurman’s yellow-jumpsuited slayer has been burned in my brain.

EMERALD FENNELL: It’s difficult to pinpoint the moment where the film first started churning around i...

Promising Young Woman? “Stars Are Blind,” the debut single from the smarter-than-she-seems socialite, gets a big singalong moment in the new thriller from Emerald Fennell, with stars Carey Mulligan and Bo Burnham traipsing through the neon-tinged aisles of a drugstore while belting out the tune. It’s a smart placement on Fennell’s part, and one that was in the script from the beginning. As Fennell tells The A.V.
