Universal Promising Young Woman begins with a sleight of hand. We watch Cassie (Carey Mulligan) taken home by a nice guy who wanted to make sure she was safe after spotting her slumped and alone in a club. After he has pushed and pushed her until finally he gets her on her back, she instantly snaps back to being sober. Gotcha! The trick which Cassie plays with men – revenge, we later discover, on behalf of her friend Nina who was sexually assaulted – tells you who so many men are when they think nobody is watching. This bait and switch not only inspires anger at the men for what they were trying to get away with, but also at the woman who exposed something they hoped was carefully hidden.
